When NH4NO2(s), decomposes at 373 K, it forms N2 (g) and H2O (g). The ∆H for the reaction at one atmospheric pressure and 373 K is −223. 6 kJ mol -1 . What is the value of ∆E for the reaction under the same conditions? (Given R = 8.31 JK-1 mol-1)

Answer»

NH4NO2(S) → N2 (g) + 2H2O (g),

ng= 3 − 0 = 3

∆U = ∆H − ∆ng RT

= −223.6 kJ mol−1 − (3 mol) x (8.314 × 10−3 kJ K−1 mol−1) × (373 K)

= −232.9 kJ mol−1 .
