When 0.215 mol NH3 is formed from nitrogen and hydrogen, 9.91 kJ of heat is released as heat. Assuming constant pressure is maintained, what is the ΔH for this reaction per mole of NH3 formed?
A) 46.1 kJ B) 9.91 kJ C) -9.91 kJ D) -2.13 kJ E) -46.1 kJ
This is how I worked the problem out, but I'm not sure if its the right way to solve it.
0.215 mol NH3 * 9.91 kJ/1 mol NH3 = -2.13 <---- I put the answer as negative b/c heat is being released to the surroundings. i.e. heat is lost from the system.
but, then I'm not sure if you work it this way= 9.91 kJ/ 0.215 mol = -46.1 kJ
I'm just confused about how to approach solving this. If you could please help me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
