Question: Use the data in Table 2.7 to calculate the standard enthalpy of the reaction 2 H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) 2 H

Use the data in Table 2.7 to calculate the standard enthalpy of the reaction 2 H2(g) + O2(g) → 2 H2O(g). The experimental value is −484 kJ. Account for the difference between the estimated and experimental values.


Table 2.7.
