Q.
If the heat of formation of NO2 is ' x ' [1/2N2(g)+O2(g)→NO2(g)] the heat of reaction N2(g)+O2(g)→2NO(g) is y and the heat of reaction 2NO(g)+O2(g)→2NO2(g) is z, then
Given: 2×(21N2(g)+O2(g)⟶NO2(g);ΔH=x) =N2(g)+2O2⟶2NO2(g);ΔH1=2x
Also, N2+O2⟶2NO(g);ΔH=y 2NO+O2⟶2NO2;ΔH=z
Adding, we get N2+2O2⟶2NO2;ΔH2=y+z ∵ΔH1=ΔH2(∵H is state function) ⇒2x=y+z
