Question

Standard molar enthalpy of formation, Δf HV is just a special case of enthalpy of reaction, Δr HV . Is the Δr HV for the following reaction same as Δf HV ? Give reason for your answer. CaO(s) + CO2(g) → CaCO3(s); Δf HV = –178.3 kJ mol–1 23. The value of Δf HV for NH3 is – 91.8 kJ mol–1. Calculate enthalpy change for the following reaction : 2NH3(g) → N2(g) + 3H2(g)

Solution

Here the molar enthalpy of formation of CaCO3 is given for its standard condition and is the reaction which represents for 1 mole. CaO+CO2 CaCO3So Hf0 = - 178.3 kJ/ mole = Hrii) 2 NH3 N2 +3 H2Given data is for the formation of 1 mole of ammonia Hf0 = -91.8 kJ/moleHere the required equation is decomposition of ammonia which is the reverse.That is Hr0 = +91.8 kJ/moleSince its for 2 mole ammonia Hr = 2 × 91.8 = 183.6 kJ/mole
