Answer:

The standard enthalpy change for the reaction at
25^(0)\textrm{C} is -2043.999kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard enthalpy change (
\Delta H_(rxn)^(0)) for the given reaction is expressed as:


\Delta H_(rxn)^(0)=[3mol* \Delta H_(f)^(0)(CO_(2))_(g)]+[4mol* \Delta H_(f)^(0)(H_(2)O)_(g)]-[1mol* \Delta H_(f)^(0)(C_(3)H_(8))_(g)]-[5mol* \Delta H_(f)^(0)(O_(2))_(g)]

Where
\Delta H_(f)^(0) refers standard enthalpy of formation

Plug in all the given values from literature in the above equation:


\Delta H_(rxn)^(0)=[3mol* (-393.509kJ/mol)]+[4mol* (-241.818kJ/mol)]-[1mol* (-103.8kJ/mol)]-[5mol* (0kJ/mol)]=-2043.999kJ
