If heat contents of CH4, C2H4 and C3H8 are -17.9, 12.5 and -24.8 kcal/mole respectively, than ΔH for the reaction CH4(g) + C2H4(g) ⇌ C3H8(g) will be _____________ Kcal?

Correct answer: A. -19.4

  • A. -19.4
  • B. -30.2
  • C. 55.2
  • D. -55.2

Explanation

Using ΔH = ΣH_products − ΣH_reactants gives −24.8 − [−17.9 + 12.5] = −19.4 kcal/mol. The negative value shows that the reaction is exothermic.
