Question

Calculate the ΔHo for methane gas , CH4, produced from graphite and hydrogen gas according to the following reaction: C(graphite) + 2H2(g) à CH4(g)

 

Data given:

  1. C(graphite) + O2(g) à CO2(g) ΔHo= -393.5 kJ
  2. H2(g) + ½ O2(g) à H2O(l) ΔHo= - 285.8 kJ
  3. CH4(g) + 2O2(g) à CO2(g) + 2H2O(l) ΔHo = -890.4kJ
