For the reaction:
2 C (s) + H2(g) →C2H2(g)
a) Calculate the enthalpy of reaction (DHrxn) from the following reactions:
Reaction Δ Hrxn(kJ/mol)2
C2H2(g)+ 5 O2(g) → 4 CO2(g) + 2 H2O (l) -2599.2
C (s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) - 393.5
2 H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O (l) -571.8
b) If the DS for the reaction is equal to 652 J/mol, and the reaction proceeds at 25°C, would you expect the reaction to be spontaneous?
