Answer» Given : Enthalpy change for atomisation of 1010 molecules = 1.94 × 10-11 kJ Number of NH3 molecules dissociate = 1010 Bond enthalpy of N-H = ΔH = ? 1 mole of NH3 contains 6.022 × 1023 NH3 molecules. ∵ For atomisation of 1010 molecules of NH3 ΔH = 1.94 × 10-11 kJ ∴ For atomisation of 6.022 × 1023 molecules of NH3, ΔH = \(\frac{1.94\times 10^{-11}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}}{10^{10}}\) = 1168 kJ mol-1 In NH3 three N-H bonds are broken on atomisation. NH3(g) → N(g) + 3H(g)ΔH = 1168 kJ mol-1 ∴ Average bond enthalpy of N-H bond is, ΔH = \(\frac{1168}{3}\) = 389.3 kJ mol-1 ∴ Bond enthalpy of N-H bond = 389.3 kJ mol-1. |
