Given that for the reaction. N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g) ∆H = -92kJ. What is the enthalpy of formation of ammonia from its elements?

A.

-46KJ mol -1

B.

-184KJmol -1

C.

-92KJmol -1

D.

184KJmol -1

E.

+46KJmol -1

Correct answer is A

In the reaction the enthalpy of formation 2 mole of NH3 is - 92kJ. Therefore the standard \(\Delta H\) of formation = \(\frac{-92kJ}{2} = -46KJmol^{-1}\).
