Solution

The correct option is C The standard heat of formation of NO is 55 kJ/mol
Given reactions are,
N2(g)+O2(g)2NO(g) ΔH=110 kJ/mol (1)
2NO(g)+O2(g)2NO2(g) ΔH=200 kJ/mol (1)
Adding equations (1) and (2),
N2(g)+2O2(g)2NO2 ΔH=310 kJ/mol
So the standard heat of formation of NO2 = 3102 kJ/mol=155 kJ/mol
Thus in the oxidation reaction from N2 to NO2 310 kJ/mol heat evolves. Thus it is exothermic.
From the reaction (1),
12N2(g)+12O2(g)NO(g) ΔH=55 kJ/mol (1)
So the standard heat of formation of NO is 55 kJ/mol
From equation (2), the heat evolved in the oxidation reaction of NO to NO2 is 200 kJ/mol.
So it is exothermic.
