Question

We can use Hess’s law to calculate enthalpy changes that
cannot be measured. One such reaction is the conversion of
methane to ethylene:
2 CH4(g) ------>C2H4(g) + H2(g)
Calculate the ΔH° for this reaction using the following thermochemical
data:
CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) ------>CO2(g) + 2 H2O(l) ΔH° = -890.3 kJ
C2H4(g) + H2(g) ------>C2H6(g)      ΔH° = -136.3 kJ
2 H2(g) + O2(g)------>2 H2O(l)      ΔH° = -571.6 kJ
2 C2H6(g) + 7 O2(g)------>4 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(l)    ΔH° = -3120.8 kJ
