Question

When ch4(g) reacts with h2o(g) to form h2(g) and co(g), 206 kj of energy are absorbed for each mole of ch4(g) that reacts. write a balanced thermochemical equation for the reaction with an energy term in kj as part of the equation. note that the answer box for the energy term is case sensitive. use the smallest integer coefficients possible and put the energy term in the last box on the appropriate side of the equation. if a box is not needed, leave it blank. + + + +?

Answer 1

1) Chemical reaction: CH₄ + H₂O → 3H₂ + CO ΔH = + 206 kJ/mol.
2) Chemical reaction: CO + H₂O → CO₂ + H₂, ΔH = + 2,8 kJ/mol.
3) Chemical reaction: CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O ΔH = -802 kJ/mol.
4) Chemical reaction: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O ΔH = 2·(-242 kJ7mol) = - 484 kJ/mol.
Endothermic reaction (ΔH>o) and exothermic reaction (ΔH<0).
