Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Determine the overall enthalpy change for a reaction given two pathways: A → B (ΔH = -45 kJ) and B → C (ΔH = +30 kJ). What is the enthalpy change for A → C?

💡 Hint: Focus on adding the enthalpies of the path taken.

Question 2

Using Hess's Law, if the enthalpy changes for C to D is +50 kJ, and D to E is +30 kJ, what is the total for C to E if the path is reversed?

💡 Hint: Remember to flip the signs of any reversed processes.
