How would you calculate the standard enthalpy of formation of N2O5(g) in kJ/mol from the following data (all species are gases):
2 NO + O2-----2 NO2 ∆H° = –114.1 kJ
4 NO2 + O2-----2 N2O5 ∆H° = –110.2 kJ
N2 + O2------2 NO ∆H° = +180.5 kJ

Any help is greatly appreciated!

ok, here is your answer. this one is the easy one!
time first and third one with 2, then add three of them up, we have:
4 NO + 2O2 + 4NO2 + O2 + 2N2 + 2O2 -> 4NO2 +2N2O5 + 4NO

5O2 + 2N2 -> 2N2O5 ∆H° = 2*(-114.1) -110.2 + 2*180.5 = 22.6
-> standard enthalpy of formation of N2O5 = 22.6/2 = 11.3 kJ

To calculate the standard enthalpy of formation of N2O5(g), we can use the following equation:

ΔH°f(N2O5) = ΣnΔH°f(products) - ΣnΔH°f(reactants)

First, we need to determine the number of moles (n) for each species in the reaction. From the given data, we can see that 2 moles of NO and 1 mole of O2 react to form 2 moles of NO2, which has a ΔH° of -114.1 kJ. This means that the number of moles for NO and O2 is equal to 2 and 1, respectively.

Next, 4 moles of NO2 and 1 mole of O2 react to form 2 moles of N2O5, which has a ΔH° of -110.2 kJ. This means that the number of moles for NO2 and O2 is equal to 4 and 1, respectively.

Finally, 1 mole of N2 and 1 mole of O2 react to form 2 moles of NO, which has a ΔH° of +180.5 kJ. This means that the number of moles for N2 and O2 is equal to 1 and 1, respectively.

Now, we can plug in these values into the equation to calculate the standard enthalpy of formation of N2O5:

ΔH°f(N2O5) = (2 mol)(-110.2 kJ/mol) + (4 mol)(-114.1 kJ/mol) - (1 mol)(+180.5 kJ/mol) = -218.5 kJ/mol

Therefore, the standard enthalpy of formation of N2O5(g) is -218.5 kJ/mol.
 

1. What is the formula for calculating the enthalpy of formation for N2O5(g)?

The formula for calculating the enthalpy of formation for N2O5(g) is ΔHf° = Σ(nΔHf° products) - Σ(mΔHf° reactants), where n and m are the coefficients of the products and reactants respectively.

2. What data is needed to calculate the enthalpy of formation for N2O5(g)?

The data needed to calculate the enthalpy of formation for N2O5(g) includes the standard enthalpies of formation for the products and reactants, as well as the coefficients for each species in the balanced chemical equation.

3. How is the enthalpy of formation for N2O5(g) related to its stability?

The enthalpy of formation for N2O5(g) is a measure of the stability of the compound. A more negative enthalpy of formation indicates a more stable compound, as it requires less energy to form.

4. Can the enthalpy of formation for N2O5(g) be measured directly?

No, the enthalpy of formation for N2O5(g) cannot be measured directly. It is calculated using thermodynamic data and the Hess's Law equation.

5. How does temperature affect the enthalpy of formation for N2O5(g)?

The enthalpy of formation for N2O5(g) is temperature dependent. As the temperature increases, the enthalpy of formation also increases due to the increase in thermal energy needed for the reaction to occur.
