Answer:
The net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide is -470.4 kJ/mol.
Explanation:
Step 1 : Calcium carbide and water react to form acetylene and calcium hydroxide

..[1]
Step 2 : Acetylene, carbon dioxide and water react to form acrylic acid
..[2]
Using Hess's law:
[1] × 6 + [2]



The energy released on formation of 5 moles of acrylic acid = -2352 kJ
The energy released on formation of 1 moles of acrylic acid :

Hence, the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide is -470.4 kJ/mol.
The catalyst is what appears exactly the same at the end and appears early in the equation set. In this case Cl(g).The intermediate appears "intermediately" not at the beginning or at the end, but is made and consumed in the middle. Like ClO(g). A substance that is regenerated in the next is a catalyst and is consumed in the first step. In contrast, when a substance is formed in the first step and is consumed in the next step, then it is known as an intermediate.
