Here's the question...

and answers...

OpenStudy (danjs):

ok

OpenStudy (danjs):

See the reactants at the bottom, goes to the product with a net enthalpy change of 40.2 kJ per Mole

OpenStudy (danjs):

+ H is endothermic and -H for heat releasing Exothermic Reactions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Quick question: How do you calculate that it is 40.2 kJ per Mole? Sorry, I haven't done this type of problem in a while.

OpenStudy (danjs):

me either.. lol The net enthalpy change, would be +393 - 110.4 - 242.4 The diagram is set up so + is up and - is down

OpenStudy (danjs):

The overall net effect is after moving up 393 and down 110.4 and 242.4 you end up at a level of enthalpy of +40.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay I see. How do you know which equation goes where on the chart. (like the ones on the 2nd and 3rd are flipped)

OpenStudy (danjs):

right, Look at the reactants, CO2 and H2, the entire process has a net Enthalpy change of +40.2 kJ / mol. The arrow should point from the Reactants (CO2 + H2) to the Products, (CO and H2O)

OpenStudy (danjs):

The Products enthalpy overall is at the+ 40.2 level on that diagram

OpenStudy (danjs):

think of the base line as zero

I understand now. Thank you!
