Use Hess's Law to calculate the enthalpy change for recovering tungsten from its oxide using the reaction:WO3(s) + 3H2(g) --> W(s)+3H2O(g)
from the following data :
2W(s)+ 3O2(g)-->2WO3(s) , change in H = -1685.4 kJ
2H2(g)+O2(g)---> 2H2O(g) , change in H = -477.84 kJ
Target reaction : WO3(s) + 3H2(g) --------> W(s)+3H2O(g)
Given reactions :
2W(s)+ 3O2(g)-->2WO3(s) , change in H = -1685.4 kJ Reaction1
2H2(g)+O2(g)---> 2H2O(g) , change in H = -477.84 kJ reaction2
so carrying out the algebraic operations on the given reactions to get the target reaction.
-1/2(Reaction1 ) + 3/2( reaction2 ) = target reaction
so Enthapy of target reaction = -1/2( -1685.4 kJ) + 3/2(-477.84 kJ )
= 842.7 + ( -716.76 ) = 125.94 KJ
