Question

When 2 moles of C2H6(g) are completely burnt 3120 kJ of heat is liberated. The enthalpy of
formation, of C2H6(g) in kJ / mol is X. Then -X is
Given ΔH for CO2(g) & H2O(l) are 395 & 285kJ respectively.

Solution

C2H6(g)+72O2(g)2CO2(g)+3H2O(l)
Here heat of combustion for two mole of C2H6 =3120 kj , So for one mole of C2H6 =1560 kj
Now we know that ΔH0reaction=ΣΔH0fProductΣΔH0fReactant Now using this formula
-1560 = (2×3953×285)X
So X = -85 KJ / mol
-X = 85
