Answer #1

Q2. Balanced reaction :

2 CO (g) + 5 H2 (g) \rightarrow C2H6 (g) + 2 H2O (g)

enthalpy of reaction, \Delta H = enthalpy of formation of products - enthalpy of formation of reactants

\DeltaH = \Delta Ho f (products) - \Delta Ho f (reactants)

\DeltaH = [\DeltaHo f C2H6 (g) + 2 * \Delta Ho f H2O (g)] - [2 * \Delta Ho f CO (g) + 5 * \Delta Ho f H2 (g)]

\DeltaH = [(-84.68 kJ/mol) + 2 * (-241.8 kJ/mol)] - [2 * (-110.5 kJ/mol) + 5 * (0)]

\DeltaH = -84.68 kJ - 483.6 kJ + 221 kJ

\DeltaH = -347.28 kJ
