Calculate the standard molar enthalpy of formation, in kJ/mol, of NO(g) from the following data:

N2 + 2NO2 = 2NO2 ΔH 66.4kJ @298k

2NO + 02 =2NO2 ΔH -114.1kJ @298k

Answer:

The standard molar enthalpy of formation of 1 mole of NO gas is 90.25 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

We have :

[tex]N_2(g) + 2O_2 \rightarrow 2NO_2(g), \Delta H^o_{1} = 66.4 kJ[/tex]

[tex]2NO(g) + O_2\rightarrow 2NO_2(g),\Delta H^o_{2} = -114.1 kJ[/tex]

To calculate the standard molar enthalpy of formation

[tex]N_2+O_2\rightarrow 2NO(g),\Delta H^o_{3} = ?[/tex]...[3]

[1] - [2] = [3] (Hess's law)

[tex]N_2+O_2\rightarrow 2NO(g),\Delta H^o_{3} = ?[/tex]

[tex]\Delta H^o_{3} =\Delta H^o_{1} - \Delta H^o_{2} [/tex]

[tex]\Delta H^o_{3}=66.4 kJ - [ -114.1 kJ] = 180.5 kJ[/tex]

According to reaction [3], 1 mole of nitrogen gas and 1 mole of oxygen gas gives 2 mole of nitrogen monoxide.

So, the standard molar enthalpy of formation of 1 mole of NO gas :

[tex]\Delta H^o_{f,NO}=\frac{\Delta H^o_{3}}{2 mol}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta H^o_{f,NO}=\frac{180.5 kJ}{2 mol}=90.25 kJ/mol[/tex]
