Answer» `DeltaH = (BE)_("reactant") -(BE)_("products")` [But all the species must be in gaseous state. In product, `[H_(2)O(l) rarr H_(2)O(g)] DeltaH` must be added. Hence, `H_(2)(g) +(1)/(2)O_(2)(g) rarr H_(2)O(l)` `DeltaH = [(BE)_(H-H)+(1)/(2)(BE)_(O=O)]` `= [(DeltaH)_(vap) +2(BE)_(O-H)]` `= x_(1) +(x_(2))/(2) -[x_(4)+2x_(3)]` `= x_(1) +(x_(2))/(2) -x_(4) - 2x_(3)` |
