Worksheet on Thermochemistry with Chemical Kinetics

A. Write balanced equation for the production of the brown nitrogen dioxide (NO 2) gas
from nitrogen and oxygen gases. Calculate the enthalpy of the reaction if the process
occurs in the sequence of reaction given below: (10 points)
N2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2NO (g) ∆𝐻=180 kJ
2NO2 (g) → 2NO (g) + O2 (g) ∆𝐻=112 kJ

B. Methyhydrazine (N2H3CH3) is a common liquid propellant used in rocket fuels. Look for
the standard molar enthalpies of the reactants and products. Calculate the ∆H° for the
reaction per mole of N2H3CH3. (5 points)
4N2H3CH3 (l) + 5N2O4(l) → 12H2O (g) + 9N2(g) + 4CO2 (g)
C. Calculate the standard enthalpies of the following reactions from the standard molar enthalpies
of formation of the reactants and products. Identify if the reaction is endothermic or
exothermic. Include your solutions. (15 points)
