NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11

Given the reaction 1/2 N2 (g) + O2 (g) → NO2 (g) with a standard enthalpy change (∆rH ) of +33.2 kJ mol–1, calculate the enthalpy change (∆rH) for the reverse reaction NO2 (g) → 1/2 N2 (g) + O2 (g).

A

-33.2 kJ mol–1

B

+33.2 kJ mol–1

C

0 kJ mol–1

D

+66.4 kJ mol–1

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Based on the NCERT context, reversing a reaction changes the sign of the enthalpy change. Thus, ∆rH for NO2 (g) → 1/2 N2 (g) + O2 (g) is -33.2 kJ mol–1.
