The enthalpy of $1 \ mol$ of a compound is equal to its ...... (when it is formed from its constituent elements).

Calculate the $\Delta_fH^{\circ}$ of $N_2H_{4(g)}$ given the following bond energies:
$B.E.(N-N) = 159 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
$B.E.(H-H) = 436 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
$B.E.(N \equiv N) = 941 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
$B.E.(N-H) = 398 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$

Assertion $(A)$: Formation of $H_2O_{(\ell)}$ from $H_{2(g)}$ and $O_{2(g)}$ is more exothermic than formation of $H_2O_{(g)}$ from $H_{2(g)}$ and $O_{2(g)}$.
Reason $(R)$: $H_2O_{(\ell)}$ has more attraction force than $H_2O_{(g)}$ and it is more stable than $H_2O_{(g)}$.
