Calculate the amount of energy, in kilojoules, that is involved when 1 mol of nitrogen gas is reacted with 3 mol hydrogen gas to form 2 mol ammonia gas, using the following steps:
Part A: Draw the Lewis structures of all the molecules involved in the reaction:
N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g)
Part B: If the bond energy for the N≡N bond is 946 kJ/mol, how much energy is needed to break all the bonds in 3.0 mol of nitrogen molecules?
Part C: If the bond energy for the H–H bond is 432 kJ/mol, how much energy is needed to break all the bonds in 9 hydrogen gas?
Part D: If the bond energy for the N-H bond is 391 kJ/mol, how much energy is released when 3.0 mol ammonia gas is formed?
Part E: What is the net result of energy needed to break the bonds, less the energy released when new bonds are formed?
Part F: How do you interpret the sign of the answer?
