Question

An important step in the synthesis of nitric acid is the conversion of ammonia to nitric oxide.

H°f [NH3(g)] = -45.9 kJ/mol; ∆H°f [NO(g)] = 90.3 kJ/mol; ∆H°f [H2O(g)] = -241.8 kJ/mol

            4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) → 4NO(g) + 6H2O(g)

            Calculate ∆H°rxn for this reaction.

            A)  -906.0 kJ    B)  -197.4 kJ    C)  -105.6 kJ    D)  197.4 kJ    E)  906.0 kJ
