Chemistry Question on Enthalpy change
Enthalpies of formation of CCl4(g),H2O(g),CO2(g) and HCl(g) are −105,−242,−394 and −92kJ mol −1 respectively The magnitude of enthalpy of the reaction given below is ___kJmol−1 (nearest integer) CCl4(g)+2H2O(g)→CO2(g)+4HCl(g)
Answer
ΔrH=∑Hp−∑HR
=(−394+4×−92)−(−105+(2×−242))
=−173kJ/mol
So , the correct answer is -173.
