Question

Calculate ∆H for the reaction:
2H2(g) + 2C (s) + O2(g) → C2H5OH (l)

Using the following:                                                              ∆H
C2H5OH (l) + 2O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 2H2O (l)                -875 kJ

C (s) + O2(g) → CO2(g)                                                   -394.5 kJ

H2(g) + 1⁄2 O2(g) → H2O (l)                                              - 285.8 kJ
