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.
