Q.
Given, NHX3X(g)3ClX2X(g)+NClX3(g)+3HCl(g); −ΔH1 NX2X(g)+3HX2X(g)2NHX3X(g); −ΔH2 HX2X(g)+ClX2X(g)2HClX(g); ΔH3
The heat of formation of NCl3(g) in the terms of ΔH1, ΔH2 and ΔH3 is
Find 21N2+23Cl2→NCl3;ΔHf
Multiply Eq. (ii) by 1/2 and add to Eq. (i), Eq.(iii) by 3/2 and subtract from Eq.(i) ; we get ΔHf=−ΔH1−[−2ΔH2+23ΔH3] =−ΔH1+2ΔH2−23ΔH3
