Question
The standard enthalpy changes of formation of H₂(g) and N₂(g) is 0. Calculate the standard enthalpy change of the following reaction: N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) → 2NH₃(g). Given: ΔH_f, NH₃(g) = -45.9 kJ/mol
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
ΔH°_rxn = 2 × ΔH_f(NH₃) - [ΔH_f(N₂) + 3ΔH_f(H₂)] = 2×(-45.9) - (0+0) = -91.8 kJ/mol.
Hint
Use ΔH°_rxn = Σ ΔH_f(products) - Σ ΔH_f(reactants).
