The bond energy between a hydrogen and a nitrogen atom is 386 kj/mol, the bond energy between two hydrogen atoms is 432 kj/mol and the bond energy between two nitrogen atoms is 942kJ/mol. Using these bond energies calculate the overall energy change for the following reaction. 2NH 3 à N 2 + 3H 2 For the reactants There are three nitrogen to hydrogen bonds in each molecule and there are two molecules so 386kJ/mol x 6 = 2,316kJ/mol For the products There are three hydrogen to hydrogen bonds (432kJ/mol) and one nitrogen to nitrogen triple bond so 3 x 432kJ/mol + 942kJ/mol = 2,238kJ/mol Overall energy change = energy needed to energy released as break the bonds bonds are made 2,316kJ/mol - 2,238kJ/mol Overall energy change = + 78kJ/mol 5.
