Hydrogen gas will react with either acetylene, C2H2, or ethylene, C2H4, gas. The thermochemical equations for these reactions are provided below. Calculate the ΔH° of the conversion of acetylene into ethylene by hydrogen gas.   C2H2(g) + 2H2(g) → C2H6 ΔH° = –311 kJ   C2H6 → C2H4(g) + H2(g) ΔH° = 136 kJ

Question

Hydrogen gas will react with either acetylene, C2H2, or ethylene, C2H4, gas. The thermochemical equations for these reactions are provided below. Calculate the ΔH° of the conversion of acetylene into ethylene by hydrogen gas.

 

C2H2(g) + 2H2(g) → C2H6

ΔH° = –311 kJ

 

C2H6 → C2H4(g) + H2(g)

ΔH° = 136 kJ
