Question

Consider these intermediate chemical equations. cap c times s plus cap o sub 2 times g rightarrow CO sub 2 times g triangle cap h sub 1 is equal to negative 393 point 5 kJ 2 CO g plus cap o sub 2 times g rightarrow 2 CO sub 2 g triangle cap h sub 2 is equal to negative 566 point 0 kJ 2 cap h sub 2 cap o g rightarrow 2 cap h sub 2 g plus cap o sub 2 times g triangle cap h sub 3 is equal to 483 point 6 kJ The overall chemical equation is C(s)+H_2​O(g)→CO(g)+H_2​(g) To calculate the final enthalpy of the overall chemical equation, which step must occur?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

Reverse the second equation, and change the sign of the enthalpy. Then, add.
