Problem

In solid ammonia, each NH3NH_3 molecule has six other NH3NH_3 molecules as nearest neighbours. ΔH\Delta H of sublimation of NH3NH_3 at the melting point is 30.8 kJ/mol and the estimated ΔH\Delta H of sublimation in the absence of hydrogen bonding is 14.4 kJ / mol. What is the strength of hydrogen bond in solid ammonia?
