Consider the dimerization reaction 2 NO2(g) → N2O4(g). This reaction is exothermic, since the major chemical change is the formation of a new bond (the N-N bond). The value of ∆rH0 for this reaction carried out at a temperature of 298 K is -57.2 kJ. The standard molar capacity of N2O4(g) is Cp,m = 77.28 J/K-mol, and the standard molar heat capacity of NO2(g) is Cp,m = 37.2 J/K-mol. Given this information, what is the value of ∆rH0 for the dimerization reaction carried out at a temperature of 1298 K?

Consider the dimerization reaction 2 NO<sub>2</sub>(g) → N<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>(g). This reaction is exothermic, since the major chemical change is the formation of a new bond (the N-N bond). The value of ∆<sub>r</sub>H<sup>0</sup> for this reaction carried out at a temperature of 298 K is -57.2 kJ. The standard molar capacity of N<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>(g) is C<sub>p,m</sub> = 77.28 J/K-mol, and the standard molar heat capacity of NO<sub>2</sub>(g) is C<sub>p,m</sub> = 37.2 J/K-mol. Given this information, what is the value of ∆<sub>r</sub>H<sup>0</sup> for the dimerization reaction carried out at a temperature of 1298 K?
