The enthalpy of combustion of solid carbon to form carbon dioxide is 2393.7 kJ/mol carbon, and the enthalpy of combustion of carbon monoxide to form carbon dioxide is 2283.3 kJ/ mol CO. Use these data to calculate DH for the reaction 2C + O2 > 2CO
C(s) + O2(g) -----------> CO2 (g) H = -2393.7KJ/mole ---------------> 1
CO(g) +1/2 O2(g) -----> CO2(g) H = -2283.3KJ/mole -------------> 2
equation 1 and 2 multifly with 2
2C(s) + 2O2(g) -----------> 2CO2 (g) H = -4787.4KJ/mole
2CO(g) + O2(g) -----> 2CO2(g) H = - 4566.6KJ/mole
