Enthalpy of formation is calculated by subtracting the total enthalpy of formation of the reactants from those of the products. This is called the HESS' LAW.
ΔHrxn = ΔH(products) - ΔH(reactants)

Since the enthalpies are not listed in this item, from reliable sources, the obtained enthalpies of formation are written below.
ΔH(C2H5OH) = -276 kJ/mol
ΔH(O2) = 0 (because O2 is a pure substance)
ΔH(CO2) = -393.5 kJ/mol
ΔH(H2O) = -285.5 kJ/mol

Using the equation above,
ΔHrxn = (2)(-393.5 kJ/mol) + (3)(-285.5 kJ/mol) - (-276 kJ/mol)
ΔHrxn = -1367.5 kJ/mol

<em>Answer: -1367.5 kJ/mol</em>

Answer: -1367.5 kJ

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is,

C_2H_5OH(l)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+3H_2O(g)

The expression for enthalpy change is,

\Delta H=\sum [n\times H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times H_f(reactant)]

\Delta H=[(n_{CO_2}\times H_f_{CO_2})+(n_{H_2O}\times H_f_{H_2O}) ]-[(n_{O_2}\times H_f_{O_2})+(n_{C_2H_5OH}\times H_f_{C_2H_5OH})]

where,

n = number of moles

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

\Delta H=[(2\times -393.5 kJ/mol)+(3\times -285.5 k) ]-[(3\times 0)+(1\times -276]

\Delta H=-1367.5kJ

Therefore, the enthalpy change for this reaction is, -1367.5 kJ

BASED ON THE INFORMATION BELOW. CALCULATE THE MASS FOR ONE OF THESE ATOMS:
stepladder [879]

C = 12 g

O = 16 g

H = 1 g

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Conservation of mass stated that  

<em>In a closed system, the masses before and after the reaction are the same </em>

we can calculate the mass of each atom in the compound :

O in O₂ :

mass O₂ = 32

mass O = 32 : 2 = 16 g

H in H₂O

mass H₂O = 18

mass 2.H + mass O = 18

mass 2.H + 16 = 18

mass 2.H=2

mass H = 1 g

C in CH₄

mass CH₄ = 16

mass C + mass 4.H = 16

mass C + 4.1=16

mass C = 12 g

or we can use formula :

Mass of a single C :

\tt =\dfrac{Ar~C}{MW~CO_2}\times mass~CO_2\\\\=\dfrac{12}{44}\times 44=12
