Question:
Melamine is an important industrial chemical, used to make fertilizers and plastics.
(a) The carbon-nitrogen bond lengths in the ring are all the same length (about 140 pm). Explain.
(b) Melamine is made by the decomposition of urea, (H2N)2CO.
Calculate the enthalpy change for this reaction. Is it endo- or exothermic? [Δf H° for melamine(s) =
−66.1 kJ/mol and for urea(s) = −333.1 kJ/mol]
