Question

Calculate the resonance energy of N2O from the following data: ΔHf of N2O=82 kJ mol1, standard bond enthalpies of NN , NN, OO and NO bonds are 946, 418, 498 and KJmol1 respectively.

Solution

NN+12O=ON=N=O

ΔHof=BE of reactantsBE of products

=[BE(NN)+12BE(OO)][BE(N=N)+BE(N=O)]

=[946+12×498][418+607] kJ

Resonance energy=ΔHof(observed)ΔHof(calculated)

=88 kJ/mol
