The element number of Fe is 26, which means that the number of neutrons of the following isotopes is: 

<span>53-Fe: 27 </span>
<span>54-Fe: 28 </span>
<span>56-Fe: 30 </span>
<span>57-Fe: 31 </span>
<span>58-Fe: 32 </span>
<span>59-Fe: 33 </span>

<span>Because 53-Fe has too few neutrons when compared to the other isotopes we can rule out any decay that involves losing a neutron: (alpha decay, beta decay) So, this isotope will prefer to decay by electron capture or positron emission (assuming the system has about 1 MeV to spare), but in each case the product will be the same: 53-Mn (long-lived radioisotope). </span>

N2 (g) + 2O2(g) = 2NO2 (g) ΔH = 66.4 kJ 2NO (g) + O2 (g) = 2NO2 (g) ΔH = -114.2 kJ the enthalpy of the reaction of the nitrogen
RSB [31]

Answer:

ΔH  = 180.6 kJ

Explanation:

Given that:

N2 (g) + 2O2(g) = 2NO2 (g)           ΔH = 66.4 kJ

<u>2NO (g) + O2 (g) = 2NO2 (g)         ΔH = -114.2 kJ                     </u>

N2 (g) + O2 (g) = 2NO (g)              ΔH  = ????

The subtraction of both equations would yield the unknown ΔH , therefore:

ΔH = 66.4 - ( - 114.2 kJ)

ΔH  = 180.6 kJ
