Calculate the Standard Enthalpy of Reaction for the following balanced equation by using known standard enthalpies of formation: C₂H₄(g) + 3 O₂(g) → 2 CO₂(g) + 2 H₂O(l), given ΔH_f° [CO₂(g)] = –393.5 kJ/mol and ΔH_f° [H₂O(l)] = –285.8 kJ/mol.
💡 Hint: Use the summing formula for products and reactants appropriately.
If the enthalpy of combustion of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is –2803 kJ/mol, calculate the Standard Enthalpy of Formation for glucose knowing the formation of CO₂ and water.
💡 Hint: Connect the glucose combustion with its decomposition to relate to formation.
