what is the correct answer?
Answered by GPT 3.5
The enthalpy change for the reaction is given as 92.2 kJ.
The reaction involves the formation of 2 moles of ammonia (NH3) from 1 mole of nitrogen (N2) and 3 moles of hydrogen (H2).

To find the enthalpy of formation of ammonia, we need to consider the stoichiometric coefficients of the reaction. The enthalpy change for the formation of 1 mole of NH3 is half of the overall enthalpy change.

Therefore, the enthalpy of formation of ammonia is 92.2 kJ / 2 = 46.1 kJ/mol.

So, the correct answer is option c) –46.1 kJ/mol.
