Answer #1

#127: (a): N2 has 1 NEN, H2 has 1 H-H and NH3 has 3 N - H single bonds.

Hence 2NH3 has a total of 2*3 = 6 N-H single bonds

\DeltarH = \sum(Bond energy of all reactants) - \sum(Bond energy of all products)

=> \DeltarH = [1 mol * (BE, N2) + 3 mol*(BE, H2)] - [ 6 mol * (BE, N-H)]

=> \DeltarH = [1mol * 945 kJ/mol + 3 mol*436 kJ/mol] - [6 mol * 450.2 kJ/mol]

=> \DeltarH = 945 kJ + 1308 kJ - 2701.2 kJ

=> \DeltarH = - 448.2 kJ (Answer)

(b):

N2 has 1 NEN, H2 has 1 H-H. H2NNH2 has 4 N-H single and 1 N-N single bond  

\DeltarH = \sum(Bond energy of all reactants) - \sum(Bond energy of all products)

=> \DeltarH = [1 mol * (BE, N2) + 2 mol*(BE, H2)] - [ 1 mol * (BE, N-N) + 4 mol*(BE, N-H)]

=> \DeltarH = [1mol * 945 kJ/mol + 2 mol*436 kJ/mol] - [1 mol * 271.5 kJ/mol + 4 mol* 450.2 kJ/mol]

=> \DeltarH = 945 kJ + 872 kJ - 271.5 kJ - 1800.8 kJ

=> \DeltarH = - 255.3 kJ (Answer)
