Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the standard enthalpy change for the reaction 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(l)?
  • Step 1: Identify the reaction you are looking at, which is 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(l).
  • Step 2: Understand that the standard enthalpy change for a reaction can be found using the standard enthalpy of formation values.
  • Step 3: Look up the standard enthalpy of formation for water (H2O). It is -241.82 kJ/mol.
  • Step 4: Since the reaction produces 2 moles of water, multiply the standard enthalpy of formation of water by 2.
  • Step 5: Calculate: 2 * (-241.82 kJ/mol) = -483.64 kJ.
  • Step 6: The standard enthalpy change for the reaction 2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(l) is -483.64 kJ.
