<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
True
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- The molecule NH3 contains all single bonds.
- NH3 has a three single covalent bond among its nitrogen and hydrogen atoms,because one valence electron of each of three atom of hydrogen is shared with three electron.
- There are three covalent bonds are in NH3 . Each hydrogen make a single bond with nitrogen and there is also a pair of electron which is unpaired from nitrogen.
The formation of nitric acid from nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen can be written as,
N₂ + H₂ + 3O₂ --> 2HNO₃
The net enthalpy of formation of nitric acid is calculated by,
Hrxn = Hproduct - Hreactant
Since all the reactants are in their elemental forms, the simplified equation would be,
Hrxn = Hproduct
Substituting,
Hrxn = (-186.81 kJ/mol)(2 mols)
<em>Answer: -372.42 kJ</em>
