Calculate the standard enthalpy of formation of C2H4(g) from the following:Thermo-chemical equationC2H4(g) + 3O2 (g) → 2CO2 (g) + 2H2O(g);∆rHΘ = −1323 kJ mol−1Given that ∆fHΘ of CO2 (g) and H2O (g) as -393.5 and -249 kJ mol-1 Respectively.

Answer»

fHΘ of O2(g) = 0 by convention

rHΘ = \(\sum\)fHΘ(products)\(\sum\)fHΘ (reactants)

Substituting the given values:

−1323 = [2 × (−393.5) + 2 × (−249)] − [∆fHΘC2H4]

−1323 = [−787 − 498] − [∆fHΘC2H4]

−1323 = −1285 − ∆fHΘC2H4

 \(\therefore\) ∆fHΘC2H4 = 1323 − 1285

= 38 kJ mol-1
