A chemist measures the energy change ΔH during the following reaction:
2NH3(g)→N2(g)+3H2(g)
ΔH=160kJUse the information to answer the following questions. This reaction is:.
a. endothermic
b. exothermic
Suppose 70.9 g of NH3 react. Will any heat be released or absorbed?
a. Yes, absorbed
b. Yes, released
c. No.
If you said heat will be released or absorbed in the second part of this question, calculate how much heat will be released or absorbed. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

For (1): The correct option is (a)

For (2): The correct option is (a) and 333.6 kJ of heat will be absorbed when 70.9 g of ammonia reacts.

Explanation:

There are 2 types of reactions that are classified based on enthalpy change:

Endothermic reactions: These are the reactions where heat is absorbed by the reaction. The change in enthalpy of the reaction, is positive for these reactions.

Exothermic reactions: These are the reactions where heat is released by the reaction. The change in enthalpy of the reaction, is negative for these reactions.

For the given chemical reaction:

As the change in enthalpy or heat of the reaction is positive. Thus, the reaction is an endothermic reaction because heat is absorbed by the reaction.

When ammonia reacts, some amount of heat will be absorbed by the reaction. Thus, we can say the heat will be absorbed.

The number of moles is calculated by using the equation:

......(1)

Given mass of ammonia = 70.9 g

Molar mass of ammonia = 17 g/mol

Using equation 1:

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 mole of ammonia reacts, the heat absorbed is 160 kJ

So, if 4.17 moles of ammonia reacts, the heat absorbed will be =

Hence, 333.6 kJ of heat will be absorbed when 70.9 g of ammonia reacts
