Q. 13. Given

N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g); rHθ=-92.4 kJ mol-1

What is the standard enthalpy of formation of NH3 gas?

NEETprep Answer:
Standard enthalpy of formation of a compound is the change in enthalpy that takes place during the formation of 1 mole of a substance in its standard form from its constituent elements in their standard state.
Re-writing the given equation for 1 mole of NH3(g),
12N2(g)+32H2(g)NH3(g)
Standard enthalpy of formation of NH3(g)
=12 rHθ
=12 (-92.4 kJ mol-1)
=-46.2 kJ mol-1
