1. Calculate the enthalpy of the formation of diamond from graphite using the equations
below.
C (s, graphite) + O2(g) ---> CO2(g) H° = -394 kJ
C (s, diamond) + O2(g) ---> CO2(g) H° = -396 kJ

C (s, graphite) ---> C (s, diamond) H = ???

2. Calculate the enthalpy for the following reaction:

N2(g) + 2O2(g) ---> 2NO2(g) H° = ??? kJ

Using the following two equations:

N2(g) + O2(g) ---> 2NO(g) H° = +180 kJ

2NO2(g) ---> 2NO(g) + O2(g) H° = +112 kJ

3. Calculate H° for this reaction:

2N2(g) + 5O2(g) ---> 2N2O5(g)

using the following three equations:

H2(g) + (1/2) O2(g) ---> H2O(l) H° = -285.8 kJ

N2O5(g) + H2O(l) ---> 2HNO3(l) H° = -76.6 kJ
(1/2) N2(g) + (3/2) O2(g) + (1/2) H2(g) ---> HNO3(l) H° = -174.1 kJ

4. Calculate H° for this reaction:

6 C(s) + 6 H2(g) + 3 O2(g) ---> C6H12O6(s)

using the following three equations:

C(s) + O2(g) ---> CO2(g) H° = -393.51 kJ

H2(g) + (1/2) O2(g) ---> H2O(l) H° = -285.83 kJ
C6H12O6(s) + 6 O2(g) ---> 6 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(l) H° = -2803.02 kJ
