Chapter , Problem 73E(choose chapter or problem)
Bond Enthalpies (Section 8.8)
Ammonia is produced directly from nitrogen and hydrogen by using the Haber process, which is perhaps the most widely used industrial chemical reaction on Earth. The chemical reaction is
N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) ⟶ 2NH3 (g)
a) Use Table 8.4 to estimate the enthalpy change for the reaction. Is it exothermic or endothermic?
(b) Calculate the enthalpy change as obtained using ΔHf° values.
