Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the ΔH for the reaction: 2 H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2 H₂O(l) using Hess's Law if you know the standard enthalpy of formation for H₂O is -285.8 kJ/mol.

💡 Hint: Remember to account for each mole of product formed.

Question 2

If the formation enthalpy of CO(g) is -110.5 kJ/mol and that for O₂ is zero, what would be the total ΔH for the reaction: C(s) + O₂(g) → CO(g) using Hess's Law?

💡 Hint: Use the fact that elemental states have zero formation enthalpy.
