Nitrogen gas can be prepared by passing gaseous ammonia over solid copper(II) oxide at high
temperatures. The other products of the reaction are solid copper and water vapor. Using
published bond energies, estimate the ΔHrxn of this reaction. (20 points)
Some helpful information: Copper(II) oxide has a bond strength of 148.0 kJ/mol. For the other
bond energies use the link in the assignment page; you may use the data for single bonds
(scroll down on the bond energies page) – NOTE: The single bond energies are in Kcal/mol.
1Kcal = 4.184 kJ.
