Question

1.             Given the equations:                          N2(g) + O2(g) ® 2NO(g)                    H = +180.7 kJ

                                                                               

                                                                                2NO(g) + O2(g) ® 2NO2(g)              H = -113.1 kJ

                                                                               

                                                                                2N2O(g) ® 2N2(g) + O2(g)                H = -163.2 kJ

Calculate the change in enthalpy for the reaction:       N2O(g) + NO2(g) ® 3NO(g)

Explanation / Answer

1)

Lets number the reaction as 1, 2, 3, 4 from top to bottom

required reaction should be written in terms of other reaction

This is Hess Law

required reaction can be written as:

reaction 4 = +1 * (reaction 1) -0.5 * (reaction 2) +0.5 * (reaction 3)

So, deltaHo rxn for required reaction will be:

deltaHo rxn = +1 * deltaHo rxn(reaction 1) -0.5 * deltaHo rxn(reaction 2) +0.5 * deltaHo rxn(reaction 3)

= +1 * (180.7) -0.5 * (-113.1) +0.5 * (-163.2)

= 155.65 KJ/mol

Answer: 155.65 KJ/mol
