Question

Assume reaction N (g )space plus O (g )rightwards arrow N O (g )occurs in high layers of the atmosphere. What is the H subscript f to the power of degree of the reaction in the unit of kJ/mol

Answer 1

Answer:

Kindly check the explanation section.

Explanation:

From the description given in the question above, that is '' H subscript f to the power of degree of the reaction" we have that the description matches what is known as the heat of formation of the reaction, ∆fH° where the 'f' is a subscript.

In order to determine the heat of formation of any of the species in the reaction, the heat of formation of the other species must be known and the value for the heat of reaction, ∆H(rxn) must also be known. Thus, heat of formation can be calculated by using the formula below;

∆H(rxn) = ∆fH°( products) - ∆fH°(reactants).

That is the heat of formation of products minus the heat of formation of the reaction g specie(s).

Say heat of formation for the species is known as N(g) = 472.435kj/mol, O(g) = 0kj/mol and NO = unknown, ∆H°(rxn) = −382.185 kj/mol.

−382.185 = x - 472.435kj/mol = 90.25 kJ/mol
