The enthalpy change for the atomisation of 1010 molecules of ammonia is 1.94 × 10-11 kJ.Calculate the bond enthalpy of N-H bond.

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.
