    The formation of one mole of HBr from the elements is:

    ½H₂ + ½Br₂ --> HBr

    You need to break the H-H bonds and Br-Br bonds and make the HBr bonds.

    Take one-half the bond energy per mole of the H-H bond add one-half the bond energy per mole of the Br-Br bond, and subract the bond energy per mole of H-Br.
