Diborane is a potential rocket fuel which undergoes combustion according to the reaction
B2H6(g)+3O2(g)→B2O3(s)+3H2O(g) From the following data, calculate the enthalpy change for the combustion of diborane.
- 2B(s)+(3/2)O2(g)→B2O3(s) ΔH=1273KJ/mol
- H2(g)+(1/2)O2(g)→H2O(1) ΔH=−286KJ/mol
- H2O(l)→H2O(g) ΔHs=44KJ/mol
- 2B(s)+3H2(g)→B2H6(g) ΔH=36KJ/mol
