What is the enthalpy of formation for the substances given


What is the enthalpy of formation for the substances, given the thermochemical reactions? Assign whether the process is endothermic or exothermic.

a.) Determine ΔH?f for magnesium nitride.

3Mg (s) + 2NH3 (g) → Mg3N2 (s) +3H2 (g) ΔH? = -371 kJ

1/2 N2 (g) + 3/2 H(g) → NH3 (g) ΔH? = -46 kJ

b.) Determine ΔH?for dinitrogen pentoxide.

2H2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2H2O (l) ΔH? = -571.5 kJ

N2O(g) + H2O (l) → 2HNO3 (l) ΔH? = -76.6 kJ

1/2 N2 (g) + 3/2 O2 (g) +1/2 H(g) → HNO3 (l) ΔH? = -174 kJ

c.) Determine ΔH?for copper (II) oxide.

2Cu (s) + S (s) → Cu2S (s) ΔH? = -79.5 kJ

S (s) + O2 (g) → SO2 (g) ΔH? = -297 kJ

Cu2S (s) + 2O2 (g) → 2CuO (s) + SO2 (g) ΔH? = -527.5 kJ

d.) Determine ΔH?for magnesium nitrate.

8Mg (s) + Mg(NO3)2 → Mg3N(s) + 6MgO (s) ΔH? = 3884 kJ

Mg3N2 (s) → 3Mg (s) + N(g) ΔH? = 463 kJ

2MgO (s) → 2Mg (s) + O2 (g) ΔH? = 1203 kJ
