Enthalpy of formation of C2H4, CO2 and H2O are 52, −394 and −286 kJ/mol respectively (Given)
The reaction is
C2H4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2H2O
change in enthalpy,
ΔH = ΔHproducts − ΔHreactants
= 2 × (−394) + 2 × (−286) − (52 + 0)
= −1412 kJ/mol
- (a) −1412 kJ/mol
- (b) −1412 kJ/mol
- (c) −1412 kJ/mol
- (d) −1412 kJ/mol
Correct answer: (a) −1412 kJ/mol
Solution
The enthalpy change is calculated correctly using the given formula and data. The result is −1412 kJ/mol, which matches option (a).
