Calculate the ΔH of the following reaction: CO2(g) + H2(g)O -> H2CO3(g) if the standard values of ΔHf are as follows: CO2(g) : -393.509 KJ/mol, H2O(g): – 241.83 KJ/mol, and H2CO3(g) : – 275.2 KJ/mol.(a) +360.139 KJ(b) +350.129 KJ(c) – 360.139 KJ(d) -350.129 KJ |

Answer» The correct choice is (a) +360.139 KJ Easy explanation: ΔH° = ƩΔvpΔH°f (products) – ƩΔvrΔH°f (reactants) so this means that you add up the sum of the ΔH’s of the products and subtract away the ΔH of the products: (- 275.2 KJ) – (-393.509 KJ + -241.83KJ) = (-275.2) – (-635.339) = + 360.139 KJ. |
