Consider the chemical reaction, OF2(g) + H2O(g) → O2(g) + 2HF(g) ΔH0 = -323 kJ What is ΔH of the reaction if :(a) the equation is multiplied by 3, (b) direction of reaction is reversed?

Answer»

(a) If the given thermochemical equation is multiplied by 3 then,

ΔrH0 = 3ΔH0 = 3 × (-323) = -969 kJ

(b) If the direction of equation is reversed, then the reaction will be,

O2(g) + 2HF(g) → OF2(g) + H2O(g)

∴ ΔrH0 = – ΔH0 

= – (- 323) 

= + 323 kJ

If the given thermochemical equation is multiplied by 3 then,
ΔrH0 = 3ΔH0 = 3 × (-323) = -969 kJ
(b) If the direction of equation is reversed, then the reaction will be,
O2(g) + 2HF(g) → OF2(g) + H2O(g)
∴ ΔrH0 = – ΔH0 
= – (- 323) 
= + 323 kJ
