Question:

Hydrogen gas will react with either acetylene or ethylene gas. The thermochemical equations for these reactions are provided below. Write the thermochemical equation for the conversion of acetylene into ethylene by hydrogen gas.

C2H2(g) + 2 H2(g) → C2H6 ΔH° = –311 kJ
C2H4(g) + H2(g) → C2H6 ΔH° = –136 kJ
