The following equations show the oxidation of carbon and carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide.

C_(s) +O_2(g) → CO_2(g) ΔH = –x kJ mol^–1

CO_(g) + O_2(g) → CO_2(g) ΔH = –y kJ mol^–1

Hess' Law makes use of which principle to calculate the enthalpy change of a reaction?

For Hess' Law to be used what must be the same for all of the reactions being studied?

• The initial conditions of pressure and temperature.

• The final conditions of pressure and temperature.

• The initial and the final conditions of pressure and temperature.

• The initial and the final conditions of pressure and temperature, and the number of moles of reactants.

Which of the following statements are true for the reaction:

SO_2(g) + ¹/₂O_2(g) ↔ SO_3(g) ΔH = –92 kJ mol^-1

Where ↔ indicates that the reaction can proceed in the forward and the reverse direction.

• The forward and reverse reaction both produce 92 kJ of energy.

• Oxidising 2 moles of SO₂ would produce twice as much energy.

• The reverse reaction has an enthalpy of +92 kJ mol^-1.

• Collecting the SO3 produced in the liquid state would not change the measured enthalpy.

In order to find the enthalpy of combustion of C₃H₈ how must the enthalpy changes be arranged?

• ΔH₃ = ΔH₁ + ΔH₂

• ΔH₂ = ΔH₃ - ΔH₁

• ΔH₁ = ΔH₂ - ΔH₃

• 0 = ΔH₁ + ΔH₂ + ΔH₃
