Answer:
Option C. Energy Profile D
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include:
Enthalpy change ΔH = 89.4 KJ/mol.
Enthalpy change (ΔH) is simply defined as the difference between the heat of product (Hp) and the heat of reactant (Hr). Mathematically, it is expressed as:
Enthalpy change (ΔH) = Heat of product (Hp) – Heat of reactant (Hr)
ΔH = Hp – Hr
Note: If the enthalpy change (ΔH) is positive, it means that the product has a higher heat content than the reactant.
If the enthalpy change (ΔH) is negative, it means that the reactant has a higher heat content than the product.
Now, considering the question given, the enthalpy change (ΔH) is 89.4 KJ/mol and it is a positive number indicating that the heat content of the product is higher than the heat content of the reactant.
Therefore, Energy Profile D satisfy the enthalpy change (ΔH) for the formation of CS2 as it indicates that the heat content of product is higher than the heat content of the reactant.
