Question

Calculate ΔH° in kilojoules for the following reaction, the preparation of the unstable nitrous acid, HNO2.

 


Use the following thermochemical equations:

 
1) \( 2\text{NaCl} (s) + \text{H}_2\text{O} (l) \rightarrow 2\text{HCl} (g) + \text{Na}_2\text{O} (s) \)

   \(\Delta H^\circ = +507.31 \, \text{kJ}\)

2) \( \text{NO} (g) + \text{NO}_2 (g) + \text{Na}_2\text{O} (s) \rightarrow 2\text{NaNO}_2 (s) \)

   \(\Delta H^\circ = -427.14 \, \text{kJ}\)

3) \( \text{NO} (g) + \text{NO}_2 (g) \rightarrow \text{N}_2\text{O} (g) + \text{O}_2 (g) \)

   \(\Delta H^\circ = -42.68 \, \text{kJ}\)

4) \( 2\text{HNO}_2 (l) \rightarrow \text{N}_2\text{O} (g) + \text{O}_2 (g) + \text{H}_2\text{O} (l) \)

   \(\Delta H^\circ = +34.35 \, \text{kJ}\)

Explanation:
- Each equation represents a chemical reaction indicating the reactants, products, and their states.
- \(\Delta H^\circ\) denotes the standard enthalpy change for each reaction, measured in kilojoules (\(\text{kJ}\)). A positive value indicates an endothermic reaction, where heat is absorbed, while a negative value indicates an exothermic reaction, where heat is released.
