I know how to compute enthalpy if there are two reactions but how do I go about figuring this out?? The explanation in the book didn't make much sense to me ![Confused :confused: :confused:]()
The standard enthalpy of formation for liquid water is:
H2(g) + fiO2(g) --> H2O(l) ∆H°f = -285.8 kJ/mol
Which of the following could be the standard enthalpy of formation for water vapor?
A. -480.7 kJ/mol
B. -285.8 kJ
C. -241.8 kJ/mol
D. +224.6 kJ/mol
The answer is C. I understand why it should be...
