Chapter 8, Problem 3SEPP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of $\Delta H_{\text{f}}°$ for ${\text{N}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ is to be determined by using the best resonance structure and the average bond enthalpies that have been given.

Concept Introduction:

The formula that is used in the standard heat of formation is as:

$\Delta H_{\text{f}}°={\displaystyle \sum \Delta H_{\text{f}}°\left(\text{Products}\right)}-{\displaystyle \sum \Delta H_{\text{f}}°\left(\text{Reactants}\right)}.$

In enthalpy, a thermodynamic system contains the addition of internal energy with the product of its pressure and volume.
