The gas-phase reaction shown, between \(\mathrm{N}_{2} \text { and } \mathrm{O}_{2}\), was run in an apparatus designed to maintain a constant pressure.
(a) Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction depicted and predict whether w is positive, negative, or zero.
(b) Using data from Appendix C, determine \(\Delta H\) for the formation of one mole of the product. [Sections 5.3 and 5.7]

Step 1 of 5) Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction depicted and predict whether w is positive, negative, or zero.Using data from Appendix C, determine ΔH for the formation of one mole of the product.In 2012, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Serge Haroche of France and David Wineland of the United States for their ingenious methods for observing the quantum states of photons or particles without having the act of observation destroy the states. In so doing, they observed what is generally called the “cat state” of the systems, in which the photon or particle exists simultaneously in two diferent quantum states. A puzzling paradox, indeed, but one that might ultimately lead to new ways to harness the simultaneous states to create so-called quantum computers and more accurate clocks.
