Calculate the ΔH for the reaction H2SO4(l) SO3(g) + H2O(g)

Apply Hess’s law and use the following equations:

H2S(g) + 2 O2(g)  H2SO4(l) ΔH = -791.2 kJ

H2S(g) + 2O2(g)  SO3(g) + H2O(l) ΔH = -661 kJ

H2O(l)  H2O(g) ΔH = +44 kJ

H2SO4(l)  SO3(g) + H2O(g) reaction

H2SO4(l)  H2S(g) + 2 O2(g) ΔH = +791.2 kJ

H2S(g) + 2O2(g)  SO3(g) + H2O(l) ΔH = -661 kJ

H2O(l)  H2O(g) ΔH = +44 kJ

H2SO4(l)  SO3(g) + H2O(g) ΔH = +174.2 KJ

2. Using Hess’s Law, calculate Δ H in kilojoules for the reaction

2C(graphite)+ H2(g)  C2H2(g) from the following data.

C(graphite) + O2(g)  CO2(g) Δ H = -393.7 kJ

H2(g) + 1/2O2(g)  H2O(l) Δ H = -285.8 kJ

2C2H2(g) + 5O2(g)  4CO2(g) + 2H2O(l) Δ H = -2598.7 kJ

2C(graphite)+ H2(g)  C2H2(g) reaction

2C(graphite) + 2O2(g)  2CO2(g) Δ H = -787.4 kJ

H2(g) + 1/2O2(g)  H2O(l) Δ H = -285.8 kJ

2/2 CO2(g) + H2O(l)  2/2 C H (g) + 5/2 O (g)

2 2 2 Δ H = +1299 kJ

2C(graphite)+ H2(g)  C2H2(g) Δ H = 225.8
