The heat of reaction : 50.6 kJ
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Based on the principle of Hess's Law, the change in enthalpy of a reaction will be the same even though it is through several stages or ways
Reaction
N₂(g) + 2H₂(g) ⇒N₂H₄(l)
thermochemical data:
1. N₂H₄(l)+O₂(g)⇒N₂(g)+2H₂O(l) ΔH=-622.2 kJ
2. H₂(g)+1/2O₂(g)⇒H₂O(l) ΔH=-285.8 kJ
We arrange the position of the elements / compounds so that they correspond to the main reaction, and the enthalpy sign will also change
1. N₂(g)+H₂O(l) ⇒ N₂H₄(l)+O₂(g) ΔH=+622.2 kJ
2. H₂(g)+1/2O₂(g)⇒H₂O(l) ΔH=-285.8 kJ x 2 ⇒
2H₂(g)+O₂(g)⇒2H₂O(l) ΔH=-571.6 kJ
Add reaction 1 and reaction 2, and remove the same compound from different sides
1. N₂(g)+2H₂O(l) ⇒ N₂H₄(l)+O₂(g) ΔH=+622.2 kJ
2.2H₂(g)+O₂(g)⇒2H₂O(l) ΔH=-571.6 kJ

N₂(g) + 2H₂(g) ⇒N₂H₄(l) ΔH=50.6 kJ
