e. 1262 kJ


Sagot :

The heat of reaction for the decomposition of one mole of benzene to acetylene is; 1631 kJ

Determining Heat of Decomposition

The target reaction as given in the task content is;

  • C6H6(1) ► 3C2H2(g)

The premise reactions can be modified by multiplying the first and second reactions by 1/2 and -3/2 respectively.

Hence, we have hear of reactions;

  • ΔΗ = -2135.5 kJ
  • AH= +3766.5 kJ

Hence, the required heat of reaction for the decomposition is; -2135.5 kJ + 3766.5 kJ = 1631 kJ.
