Question 1

Given the reactions: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O (ΔH = -572 kJ) and 2H₂O → 2H₂ + O₂ (ΔH = +572 kJ), confirm Hess's Law by deriving ΔH for the complete cycle.

💡 Hint: Is the reverse of a reaction equal to its original enthalpy change?

Question 2

Calculate the ΔH for the following reaction using the provided reactions: N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃. Given: ΔH (N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃) = -92.4 kJ and ΔH (2NH₃ → N₂ + 3H₂) = +92.4 kJ.

💡 Hint: What does this imply about the state function of enthalpy?
