The standard heats of formation of NO2 (g) and N2O4 (g) are 33.5 and 8.4 KJ mol−1 respectively.The heat of dimerisation of NO2 in KJ is:
The standard heats of formation in K.cal mol −1 of NO2(g) and N2O4(g)are 8.0 and 2.0 respectively. The heat of dimerisation of NO2 in K.cal is 2NO2(g)→N2O4(g)
The molar heat of formation of NH4 NO3(s) is −367.5KJ and those of N2O(g) and H2O(l) are +81.46KJ and −285.78KJ respectively at 25o C and 1 atmospheric pressure. The △ U for the reaction NH4NO3(s)→N2O(g) + 2H2O(l)
