Answer:
∆H° rxn = - 93 kJ
Explanation:
Recall that a change in standard in enthalpy, ∆H°, can be calculated from the inventory of the energies, H, of the bonds broken minus bonds formed (H according to Hess Law.
We need to find in an appropiate reference table the bond energies for all the species in the reactions and then compute the result.
N₂ (g) + 3H₂ (g) ⇒ 2NH₃ (g)
1 N≡N = 1(945 kJ/mol) 3 H-H = 3 (432 kJ/mol) 6 N-H = 6 ( 389 kJ/mol)
∆H° rxn = ∑ H bonds broken - ∑ H bonds formed
∆H° rxn = [ 1(945 kJ) + 3 (432 kJ) ] - [ 6 (389 k J]
∆H° rxn = 2,241 kJ -2334 kJ = -93 kJ
be careful when reading values from the reference table since you will find listed N-N bond energy (single bond), but we have instead a triple bond, N≡N, we have to use this one .
If I am correct the answer would be iron and nickel.
The origins of the word fossil are French and Latin
The correct option is H - H
Compare to other type of bonds given above, the hydrogen to hydrogen bond is very unreactive. This is because the bond is very stable. Each of the hydrogen atom in the bond donate their single electron to form a covalent bond, which is quite stable.
