Question

Find AH for:

C3H2(g) + 6 H2O(g) 3 CO2(g) + 10 H2(g
Given:
C3H8(g) + 3H200) — 3CO(g) + 7H2(g) AH = 499 kJ
CO2(g) + H2(g) → CO(g) + H2O(g) AH = 41 kJ

Answer 1

Without complete reaction data, we cannot accurately calculate the enthalpy change for the given reaction C3H2(g) + 6 H2O(g) to 3 CO2(g) + 10 H2(g), as the information provided does not directly correspond to the reactants and products in the target equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to calculate the enthalpy change (ΔH) for the reaction C3H2(g) + 6 H2O(g) → 3 CO2(g) + 10 H2(g) using the given reaction enthalpies for other reactions. To find the ΔH for the target reaction, we need to manipulate the given equations and their respective enthalpy changes to cancel out the terms not present in the target equation and hence determine the enthalpy change for the target reaction.

Given the incomplete reaction and data for the enthalpy changes of related reactions, we face a challenge since we cannot directly solve for the ΔH of the target reaction from the provided information. Therefore, we cannot provide a definitive calculation for ΔH for the reaction C3H2(g) + 6 H2O(g) → 3 CO2(g) + 10 H2(g) without additional data that correctly correspond to reaction compounds and coefficients.
