help please. let me attach the question!
Farmiliar with Hess's law?
no lol.
can you tell me how?
I sure can. Hess's law states: "The standard enthalpy of an overall reaction is the sum of the standard enthalpies of the individual reactions into which a reaction may be divided." plus you should know the relation: for a reaction A -> B it follow that: \[\Delta H(A \rightarrow B)=- \Delta H(B \rightarrow A)\] So we set up an expression for the wanted equation using part processes: \[H _{2}O(s) ~ + ~ H _{2}O(l) \rightarrow H _{2}(g) ~ + ~ \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } O _{2}(g) ~ + ~ H _{2}O(l)\] We notice that the H2O(l) cancels on both sides and we get the wanted reaction. Hess law then tell us: \[\Delta H _{r} = \Delta H(H _{2}O(l) \rightarrow H _{2}O(s))+\Delta H(H _{2}O(l) \rightarrow \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } O _{2}(g))\] We now talk about the 1. reaction as A and the other as B, but using the relation I wrote we then get: \[\Delta H _{r}=- \Delta H(A)+(-\Delta H(B))\]
