Calculate the enthalpy change when 6.80 g of NH3\text{NH}_3 is passed over heated CuO. The standard heat enthalpies of NH3(g)\text{NH}_3(g), CuO(s)\text{CuO}(s) and H2O(l)\text{H}_2\text{O}(l) are −46.0-46.0, −155.0-155.0 and −285.0 kJ mol−1-285.0 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1} respectively and the change is NH3+32CuO⟶12N2(g)+32H2O(l)+32Cu(s)\text{NH}_3 + \frac{3}{2}\text{CuO} \longrightarrow \frac{1}{2}\text{N}_2(g) + \frac{3}{2}\text{H}_2\text{O}(l) + \frac{3}{2}\text{Cu}(s) .
