Use the following standard enthalpies of formation to estimate the $\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{H}$ bond energy in ammonia: $\mathrm{N}(\mathrm{g}), 472.7 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol} ; \mathrm{H}(\mathrm{g})$, $216.0 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol} ; \mathrm{NH}_{3}(g),-46.1 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}$. Compare your value to the one in Table $8.4$.

Key Concepts

Bond Dissociation Energy

This concept refers to the energy required to break a particular chemical bond in a molecule, forming atoms or fragments. It is an important measure of bond strength and is derived either experimentally or calculated using thermochemical data.

Hess's Law and Thermochemical Cycles

Hess's Law states that the total enthalpy change for a reaction is the same regardless of the number of steps in the pathway. By constructing thermochemical cycles using known enthalpies of formation, one can estimate unknown bond energies or reaction enthalpies, and such cycles help to correlate standard data with specific bond dissociation energies.

Standard Enthalpy of Formation

This is the change in enthalpy when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements in their standard states under standard conditions. It serves as a reference value in many thermochemistry problems to determine reaction energetics and compare stability between compounds.
