Question

Given the following:

C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g); ΔH=394 kJ/mol
2H2(g)+O2(g)2H2O(l); ΔH=568 kJ/mol C2H5OH(l)+3O2(g)2CO2(g)+3H2O(l); ΔH=1058 kJ/mol
Using the given data, the heat of formation of ethanol is:

Solution

The correct option is C 582 kJ/mol
heat of formation for ethnaol-
2C+3H2+12O2C2H5OH
To get the enthalpy from the above reactions,
Multiply the first reaction and second reaction with 2 and 32 respectively and reverse the third reaction after that add all the enthalpies-
2C+2O22CO2
3H2+32O23H2O
2CO2+3H2OC2H5OH+3O2
So the Formation enthalpy of ethanol=
2×39432×568+1058=582KJ
