Use Hess's Law to calculate the enthalpy of reaction, ΔH rxn, for the reaction in bold below given the following chemical steps and their respective enthalpy changes. Show ALL work!
2 C(s) + H2(g) → C2H2(g) ΔH°rxn = ?
1. C2H2(g) + 5/2 O2(g) → 2CO2 (g) + H2O (l) ΔH°rxn = -1299.6 kJ
2. C(s) + O2(g) → CO2 (g) ΔH°rxn = -393.5 kJ
3. H2(g) + ½ O2(g) → H2O (l) ΔH°rxn = -285.8 kJ
