Solution
The correct option is C−88kJmol−1 We calculate theoretical value of △fH∘ of N2O. Difference of experimental and theoretical value gives resonance energy N2(g)+12O2(g)→NΘ=N⨁=O(g)△fH∘(N2O)=[(BE)N≡N+12(BE)O=O]−[(BE)N=N+(BE)N=O]=[950+5002]−[420+610]=170kJ △fH∘ (experimental) = 82kJ Thus resosance energy of N2O=82−170=−88kJmol−1
