For this problem, where did N2(g) + (5/2)(O2) (g) --> N2O5(g) come from?
Why do we need to find this when we're trying to find the enthalpy of formation of N2O5?

It’s easier to keep the coefficients in whole numbers and multiply the first equation they have by 2

And then add the standard enthalpy of formation for NO. Just don’t forget to multiply that value by the coefficient of NO in the desired equation.
