Clare Bradford · Answer 1

226.73 kJ

Explanation:

Reaction:

2 C (s, graphite) + H2 (g) - > C2H2 (g)

The enthalpy of formation (ΔHf) of C2H2 (g) is 226.73 kJ/mol.

The enthalpy of formation of C (s, graphite) is zero because Carbon is in its elemental state.

The enthalpy of formation of H2 (g) is zero because is taken as a reference.

ΔHrx = ∑ΔHf of products - ∑ΔHf of reactants = 226.73 kJ/mol * 1 mol - 0 = 226.73 kJ

Note: 1 mol of C2H2 is formed.
