Nitric oxide (NO) can be formed from nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen in two steps. In the first step, nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia: (g) (g) (g) In the second step, ammonia and oxygen react to form nitric oxide and water: (g) (g) (g) (g) Calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of nitric oxide from nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen from these reactions. Round your answer to the nearest .

for 1 mole of NO.

Explanation: Hess' Law of Constant Summation or Hess' Law states that the total enthalpy change of a reaction with multiple stages is the sum of the enthalpies of all the changes.

For this question:

1) =>      

2) =>      

Amonia () appeares as product in the first equation and as reagent in the 2 reaction, so when adding both, there is no need to inverse reactions. However, in the 2nd, there are 4 moles of that molecule, so to cancel it, you have to multiply by 2 the first chemical equation and enthalpy:

=>    

Now, adding them:

=>      

=>      

Note net enthalpy is for the formation of 4 moles of nitric oxide.

For 1 mole:

To form 1 mol of nitric oxide from nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen, net change in enthalpy is .
