4nh3 (g)+502(g)-> 6h20g)+4nog) what is the enthalpy change for this reaction?

Enthalpy is energy of bonds broken - energy of bonds formed. Here, the NH3 and O2 are broken and H2O and NO are formed. So the energy to break the NH3 bonds is 3 times the amount of energy it takes to break a N-H single bond (because there are three of them in a NH3 molecule) and then multiplied by 4 because there are four particles.

So the energy of the bonds broken is 12x the energy to break a N-H single bond plus 5x the amount of energy to break an O—O double bond (you don’t multiply this by anything because in each O2 molecule there is only one bond).

The energy of the bonds formed is 6*2 = 12 Times the amount of energy for a O-H single bond plus 4 times the amount of energy required to break a N—O double bond.

Subtract energy of bonds broken - energy of bonds formed and this is the change in enthalpy.

To know what type of bond it is, draw the Lewis structure.

There is one s orbital, and there are three p orbitals, five d orbitals, and seven f orbitals. thus, the answer is b. do not confuse the number of orbitals in a subshell with the number of electrons the subshell can hold. each orbital can hold two electrons, so the capacity of an nf subshell is 14 electrons.

The answer is !
