The heat of formation of nitrogen (II) oxide : +91.3 kJ/mol
Further explanation
Given
Reaction
N2(g) + O2(g) + 182.6 kJ → 2 NO(g)
Required
The heat of formation
Solution
In the above reaction, the heat of the reaction is located on the reactant side which indicates that the formation of nitric oxide requires heat (endothermic reaction).
In the above reaction the heat required to form 2 moles of NO, so the heat required for each mole is:
+182.6 kJ : 2 = =+91.3 kJ/mol
