Detailed Solution

The standard enthalpy of formation of ammonia is -46.0 kJ mol-1. The enthalpy change for the reaction:

Because the formation of 1 mole of ammonia releases -46.0 kJ mol-1 of energy, the breakdown of 1 mole of ammonia consumes the same amount of energy, i.e. +46.0 kJ mol-1. The energy spent will be +92.0 kJ mol-1 since the described reaction implies the breakdown of two moles of ammonia.

Hence the correct answer is (B) +92KJ.
