When NH3(g) reacts with O2(g) to form N2O(g) and H2O(l), 342 kJ of energy are evolved for each mole of NH3(g) that reacts. Write a balanced thermochemical equation for the reaction with an energy term in kJ as part of the equation.

Sagot :

Answer: [tex]2NH_3(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow N_2O(g)+3H_2O(l)+684kJ[/tex]

Explanation:

The skeletal thermochemical equation for the reaction is:

[tex]NH_3(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow N_2O(g)+H_2O(l)+342kJ[/tex]

The balanced  thermochemical equation for the reaction is:

[tex]2NH_3(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow N_2O(g)+3H_2O(l)+684kJ[/tex]

When 1 mole of [tex]NH_3[/tex] reacts with oxygen , heat released = 342 kJ

Thus when 2 moles of [tex]NH_3[/tex] reacts with oxygen , heat released = [tex]\frac{2}{1}\times 342 kJ=684kJ[/tex]
