Questions

•how many modes do you expect from the 3N-6 rule?

3N-6=3*4-6=6

•which modes are degenerate (ie have the same energy)?

Mode 2 and Mode 3, Mode 5 and Mode 6

•which modes are "bending" vibrations and which are "bond stretch" vibrations?

Bending:1,2,3 Stretching:4,5,6

•which mode is highly symmetric?

4,5,6

•one mode is known as the "umbrella" mode, which one is this?

1

•how many bands would you expect to see in an experimental spectrum of gaseous ammonia?

2

Charge Distribution

N:-1.125 H:0.375 Due to the higher electronegativity of N, we would expect positive charge on H and negative charge on N.

Haber-Bosch reaction energy

E(NH3)= -56.55776873 a.u.

2*E(NH3)=

2*E(NH3)= -113.11553746 a.u.

E(N2)=

E(N2)= -109.52412868 a.u.

E(H2)=

E(H2)= -1.17853936 a.u.

3*E(H2)=

3*E(H2)= -3.53561808 a.u.

ΔE=2*E(NH3)-[E(N2)+3*E(H2)]=

ΔE=2*E(NH3)-[E(N2)+3*E(H2)]= -0.0557907 a.u.= -146.478494 kJ/mol

NH3 is more stable as the enthalpy of the forwarding reaction is exothermic

compare to literature value on wikipedia= −92.4 kJ·mol

this could be due to that the entropy of the reaction was not considered.
