Question

Calculate Delta H for the reaction:

2C (S) + H(g) --> C2H2 (g)

Given: 

C2H2 (g) + 5/2O2 (g) --> 2CO2 (g) + H2O (l)            Delta H= -1299.6 KJ

C(s) + O2 (g) --> CO2 (g)                                         Delta H= -393.5 KJ

H2(g) + 1/2 O2 (g) --> H2O (l)                                  Delta H= -285.5 KJ
