STANDARD Chemistry Enthalpy Changes MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
Formation of ammonia is shown by the reaction, N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) → 2NH₃(g); ΔH° = -91.8 kJ mol⁻¹. What will be the enthalpy of reaction for the decomposition of NH₃ according to the reaction? 2NH₃(g) → N₂(g) + 3H₂(g); ΔH° = ?
A
-91.8 kJ mol⁻¹
B
+91.8 kJ mol⁻¹
C
-45.9 kJ mol⁻¹
D
+45.9 kJ mol⁻¹
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
The sign of ΔH is reversed for the decomposition reaction. Therefore, the enthalpy change is +91.8 kJ mol⁻¹.
