Recall that the equation for ΔH°rxn is:
For this problem, we need to solve for ΔH°rxn for the reaction:
CS2(g) + 2H2O(l) → CO2(g) + 2H2S(g)
Upon checking, the equation is balanced.
We will use the following table for the standard heats of formation, ΔH°f :
What is ΔHrxn° for the following chemical reaction?
CS2(g) + 2H2O(l) → CO2(g) + 2H2S(g)
You can use the following table of standard heats of formation (ΔH f°) to calculate the enthalpy of the given reaction.
Express the standard enthalpy of reaction to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
