Answer

$-44.35\,kJ/mol$

Work Step by Step

$\Delta H_{rxn}^{\circ}=\Sigma n\Delta H_{f}^{\circ}(\text{products})-\Sigma m\Delta H_{f}^{\circ}(\text{reactants})$ where $m$ and $n$ denote the stoichiometric coefficients for the reactants and products. Then, $\Delta H_{rxn}^{\circ}=78.67\, kJ/mol=$ $[\Delta H_{f}^{\circ}(AgNO_{2}(s))+\frac{1}{2}\Delta H_{f}^{\circ}(O_{2}(g))]-[\Delta H_{f}^{\circ}(AgNO_{3}(s))]=$ $[\Delta H_{f}^{\circ}(AgNO_{2}(s))+\frac{1}{2}\times0]-(-123.02\,kJ/mol)=$ $\Delta H_{f}^{\circ}(AgNO_{2}(s))+123.02\,kJ/mol$ $\implies \Delta H_{f}^{\circ}(AgNO_{2}(s))=(78.67-123.02)kJ/mol$ $=-44.35\,kJ/mol$
