Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the enthalpy change (ΔH) for the reaction: 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(g) if ΔHf for H2O(g) is -241.8 kJ/mol?
  • Step 1: Identify the reaction: 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(g).
  • Step 2: Understand that ΔHf for H2O(g) is given as -241.8 kJ/mol.
  • Step 3: Note that the reaction produces 2 moles of H2O(g).
  • Step 4: Calculate the total enthalpy change (ΔH) by multiplying the ΔHf of H2O(g) by the number of moles produced: 2 moles × -241.8 kJ/mol.
  • Step 5: Perform the multiplication: 2 × -241.8 = -483.6 kJ.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the enthalpy change (ΔH) for the reaction is -483.6 kJ.
