DeltaH formation = deltaH of broken bonds - deltaH of formed bonds
Broken bonds: tiple bond N-N and H-H bond
Formed bonds: N-H and N-N bonds
You also have to take note of the molar coefficients
deltaH formation = <span> [(N≡N) + 2 * (H-H)] - [4 * (N-H) + (N-N)]
= (945 + 2*436) - (4*390 + 240)
= 17 kJ/mol
The answer is 17 kJ/mol.</span>
I would think that the answer would be three
Because of the prefix tri- in "tigonal"
Tri- means 3, as in tricycle or triangle
So, it would make sense for the answer to be 3
