Substance / delta H kJ mol-1: CH4 -74.8, O2 0, C -393.5, H2O -286. Using the table above, calculate the delta H for the following reaction at 25C: CH4(g) + 2O2(g) -> CO2(g) + 2H2O(g).

  • A. -890.7kJCorrect
  • B. -819.0kJ
  • C. +819.0kJ
  • D. +890.7kJ

Explanation

delta H = [(-393.5)+2(-286)] - [(-74.8)+2(0)] = -965.5 - (-74.8) = -890.7 kJ.
