Answer» Correct Answer - a Given: a. `CH_(4)(g)+2O_(2)(g) rarr CO_(2)(g)+2H_(2)O(l), DeltaH=-890.3 kJ mol^(-1)` b. `C(s)+O_(2)(g) rarr CO_(2)(g), DeltaH=-393.5 kJ mol^(-1)` c. `H_(2)(g)+1/2 O_(2)(g)rarr H_(2)O(l), DeltaH=-285.8 kJ mol^(-1)` Aim: `C(s)+2H_(2)(g) rarr CH_(4)(g), DeltaH=?` Equation `(b)+2xx` Equation (c ) -Equation (a) gives the required equation with `DeltaH=-393.5+2(-285.8)-(-890.3) kJ mol^(-1)` `=-74.8 kJ mol^(-1)` |
