  1. Dissolving NaCl in water
  2. Combustion of propane
  3. Formation of NH3 from N2 and H2
  4. Sublimation of dry ice

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following reactions has the highest enthalpy change?
Correct Answer: Combustion of propane
  • Step 1: Understand what enthalpy change means. It is the amount of energy released or absorbed during a chemical reaction.
  • Step 2: Identify the reactions given in the question. Look for the one that involves combustion.
  • Step 3: Recognize that combustion reactions typically release a lot of energy.
  • Step 4: Compare the energy released in each reaction. The one that releases the most energy has the highest enthalpy change.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the combustion of propane releases a large amount of energy, making it the reaction with the highest enthalpy change.
