Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Acetylene (C₂H₂) undergoes combustion to form CO₂ and H₂O. Given ΔH_f° is -1,203 kJ/mol for C₂H₂, -393.5 kJ/mol for CO₂, and -285.8 kJ/mol for H₂O, calculate the ΔH for the combustion reaction.

💡 Hint: Balance the reaction before plugging in enthalpy values.

Question 2

Use Hess's law to find ΔH for the reaction 2NH₃(g) + 3O₂(g) → N₂(g) + 3H₂O(l). Given provided formation values, calculate and show steps.

💡 Hint: Break it down into multiple known reactions to build it out stepwise.
