Bond dissociation energies of hydrogen and nitrogen are 430 kJ and 41.8 kJ respectively and the enthalpy of formation of NH is – 46 kJ. What is the bond energy of N-H bond?

Answer»

3H2 + N2 → 2NH3; AH = -46 kJ 

3 × ½H2 + ½N2 → 2 × ½NH3 

[(3× ½ × 430) + (½ × 941 .8)] – (3N-H) = – 46 

[(3 × 215) + (470.9) + (46)] → [3N-H] 

[645 + 470.9 + 46] = 3N-H 

N-H = 387.3 kJ
