Question
We can use Hess's Law (and some creativity!) to learn about the energetics of reactions that occur in remote environments. Consider the
atmospheric reaction,
NO + O → NO₂
(a) Use the dissociation energy of O2, 498.34 kJ/mol, and the standard heats of formation for NO (+90.25 kJ/mol) and NO₂ (+33.18 kJ/mol)
to derive the enthalpy change for this reaction.
QUESTION 14
(b) The two bonds in NO2 are equivalent, and we can use the bond strength of N₂, 945 kJ/mol, and the information given in part (a) to
determine ArxnH for
N+O+O→ NO₂
From this ArxnH, estimate the bond strength of each of the resulting N-O bonds in kJ/mol. (Note: Your answer for this part does not
necessarily depend on your answer to part a).
