DrBob222 · Answer

I believe you have written the chemical equation and the -180.9 kJ is then + 180.9 kJ = dH reaction.
I believe that the THERMOCHEMICAL equation is for 1 mol of the material so since this is for two moles I would rewrite it as
1/2 N2 + 1/2 O2 ==> NO - 90.4 kJ/mol
This is clearly an endothermic reaction so the dH NO/mol = +90.4 kJ/mol.
