Question

N2(g) + 2H2(g) --> N2H4(g)

Bond Energies, kJ/mol
N--N 159
N=N 201
NN 941
H--H 436
H--N 389
The answer is 98 kJ/mol. Idon't understand how they got this. Here is mysolution.

N2(g) + 2H2(g) --> N2H4

NN --> N=N --> N--N
941kJ/mol to 201 kJ/mol to 159kJ/mol

H--H 436 kJ/mol * 2

{(941 + 201) + 2*(436)}- {4*389} = 458 kJ/mol

941 for breakage of triply bonded Nitrogen (Endothermic)
201 for breakage of doubly bonded Nitrogen (Endothermic)
436 for breakage of Hydrogen bonds * 2 since there are two moles ofhydrogen (Endothermic)
389 for formation of Hyrdogen and Nitrogen bonds * 4 since thereare four hydrogen formations (Exothermic)

*The answer is incorrect* Please describe to me what I may bedoing wrong here?
