2 C (s) + 4 H2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2 CH3OH (g) −402.4 kJ/mol......................Equation 1
2 C (s) + 4 H2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2 CH3OH (l) −477.2 kJ/mol..........................Equation 2
Let us take the reverse of equation 2:
2 CH3OH (l) → 2 C (s) + 4 H2 (g) + O2 (g) + 477.2 kJ/mol ...............................Equation 3
Adding equation 1 and equation 3 we get:
2 CH3OH (l) → 2 C (s) + 4 H2 (g) + O2 (g) + 477.2 kJ/mol
2 C (s) + 4 H2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2 CH3OH (g) −402.4 kJ/mol
Addition: 2 CH3OH (l) → 2 CH3OH (g) 74.8 kJ/ mole
DIviding both sides of the above equation by 2:
CH3OH (l) → CH3OH (g) 37.4 kJ/ mole
The delH of vapourisation of methanol is 37.4 kJ/ mole
