I believe the correct answer is C. The amount of catalyst is the same at the end as at the beginning of the reaction. Catalysts can't be consumed by the reaction thus is not D.
Answer:
ΔH = -470.4kJ
Explanation:
It is possible to sum 2 or more reactions to obtain the ΔH of the reaction you want to study (Hess's law). Using the reactions:
1. CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) → C2H2(g) + Ca(OH)2(s)ΔH = −414kJ
2. 6C2H2(g) + 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g) → 5CH2CHCO2H(g)ΔH = 132kJ
6 times the reaction 1.
6CaC2(s) + 12H2O(l) → 6C2H2(g) + 6Ca(OH)2(s)ΔH = −414kJ*6 = -2484kJ
This reaction + 2:
6CaC2(s) + 3CO2(g) + 16H2O(l) → + 6Ca(OH)2(s) + 5CH2CHCO2H(g) ΔH = -2484kJ + 132kJ = -2352kJ
As we want to calculate the net change enthalpy in the formation of just 1 mole of acrylic acid we need to divide this last reaction in 5:
6/5CaC2(s) + 3/5CO2(g) + 16/5H2O(l) → + 6/5Ca(OH)2(s) + CH2CHCO2H(g) ΔH = -2352kJ / 5
<h3>ΔH = -470.4kJ</h3>
