What is the enthalpy of formation for the substances, given the thermochemical reactions? Assign whether the process is endothermic or exothermic.
a.) Determine ΔH?f for magnesium nitride.
3Mg (s) + 2NH3 (g) → Mg3N2 (s) +3H2 (g) ΔH? = -371 kJ
1/2 N2 (g) + 3/2 H2 (g) → NH3 (g) ΔH? = -46 kJ
b.) Determine ΔH?f for dinitrogen pentoxide.
2H2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2H2O (l) ΔH? = -571.5 kJ
N2O5 (g) + H2O (l) → 2HNO3 (l) ΔH? = -76.6 kJ
1/2 N2 (g) + 3/2 O2 (g) +1/2 H2 (g) → HNO3 (l) ΔH? = -174 kJ
c.) Determine ΔH?f for copper (II) oxide.
2Cu (s) + S (s) → Cu2S (s) ΔH? = -79.5 kJ
S (s) + O2 (g) → SO2 (g) ΔH? = -297 kJ
Cu2S (s) + 2O2 (g) → 2CuO (s) + SO2 (g) ΔH? = -527.5 kJ
d.) Determine ΔH?f for magnesium nitrate.
8Mg (s) + Mg(NO3)2 → Mg3N2 (s) + 6MgO (s) ΔH? = 3884 kJ
Mg3N2 (s) → 3Mg (s) + N2 (g) ΔH? = 463 kJ
2MgO (s) → 2Mg (s) + O2 (g) ΔH? = 1203 kJ
