Question

What is the standard enthalphy change ΔHo, for the reaction represented above? (ΔHof of C2H2(g) is 230 kJ mol-1; (ΔHof of C6H6(g) is 83 kJ mol-1;)

Answer 1

-608KJ/mol

Step-by-step explanation:

3 C2H2(g) -> C6H6(g)

ΔHrxn = ΔHproduct - ΔHreactant

ΔHrxn= ΔHC6H6 - 3ΔHC2H2

ΔHrxn = 83 - 3(230)

ΔHrxn = -608
