Consider the combustion of one mole of methane gas:CH4(gas) + 2O2(gas) --> CO2 (gas) + 2H2O(gas).The system is at standard temperature (298 K) and pressure (105 Pa) both before and after the reaction. 1.) First imagine the process of converting a mole of methane into its elemental consituents (graphite and hydrogen gas). Use the data at the back of this book to find ΔH for this process. 2.) Now imagine forming a mole of CO2 and two moles of water vapor from their elemental constituents. Determine ΔH for this process.     Question: What is the change in the system's energy during this reaction? How would your answer differ if the H2O ended up as liquid water instead of vapor?

Question

Consider the combustion of one mole of methane gas:
CH4(gas) + 2O2(gas) --> CO2 (gas) + 2H2O(gas).
The system is at standard temperature (298 K) and pressure (105 Pa) both before and after the reaction.

1.) First imagine the process of converting a mole of methane into its elemental consituents (graphite and hydrogen gas). Use the data at the back of this book to find ΔH for this process.

2.) Now imagine forming a mole of CO2 and two moles of water vapor from their elemental constituents. Determine ΔH for this process.
