The enthalpy change for a reaction can be calculated from values of: • enthalpies of formation, ∆Hᶠ • enthalpies of combustion, ∆Hᶜ • bond energies, E. The enthalpy change of the reaction given = ∆H. 2C₂H₆(g) + 3O₂(g) → 2CH₄(g) + 2CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l) Which expression could be used to calculate ∆H?
A∆Hᶠ(C₂H₆(g))
B2∆Hᶠ(C₂H₄(g)) − 2∆Hᶠ(CH₄(g))
CE(C–C) + 2E(C–H) – 4E(C=O) – 4E(H–O)
D∆Hᶠ(CH₄(g)) + ∆Hᶠ(CO₂(g)) + ∆Hᶠ(H₂O(l)) – ∆Hᶠ(C₂H₄(g))
