Calculate the enthalpy change, ∆h in kj, for the reaction h2o(s) → h2(g) + 1/2o2(g). use the following information: : +279.9 kj +291.9 kj –279.9 k –291.9 kj

+ 291.9 kJ

Solution:

The equation given is as;

H₂O ₍s₎ → H₂ ₍g₎ + 1/2 O₂ ₍g₎ ΔH = ?

First, as we know the heat of formation of H₂O ₍l₎ is,

H₂ ₍g₎ + 1/2 O₂ ₍g₎ → H₂O ₍l₎ ΔH = - 285.9 kJ

Now, reversing the equation will reverse the sign of heat as,

H₂O ₍l₎ → H₂ ₍g₎ + 1/2 O₂ ₍g₎ ΔH = + 285.9 kJ

Also, we know that,

H₂O ₍s₎ → H₂O ₍l) ΔH = + 6.0 kJ

Now, adding last two equations,

H₂O ₍l₎ → H₂ ₍g₎ + 1/2 O₂ ₍g₎ ΔH = + 285.9 kJ

H₂O ₍s₎ → H₂O ₍l) ΔH = + 6.0 kJ

H₂O ₍s₎ → H₂ ₍g₎ + 1/2 O₂ ₍g₎ ΔH = + 291.9 kJ
