Correct answer: (a) -88kJ
Explanation:
N2(g) + 1/2O2 → N2O(g)
N ≡ N(g) + 1/2(O = O) → N = \(\overset{+}N\) = O(g)
ΔH°f = [Energy required for breaking of bonds]–[Energy released for forming of bonds]
= (ΔHN≡N + 1/2ΔHO=O - (ΔHN≡N + ΔHO=O))
= (946 + 1/2 x 498) - (418 + 607)
= 170 kJ mol-1
Resonance energy = 82 - 170
= -88 kJ mol-1
