Answer:
The standard enthalpy of formation of methanol is, -238.7 kJ/mole
Explanation:
The formation reaction of CH_3OH will be,
The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,
..[1]
..[2]
..[3]
Now we will reverse the reaction 3, multiply reaction 2 by 2 then adding all the equations, Using Hess's law:
We get :
..[1]
..[2]
[3]
The expression for enthalpy of formation of will be,
The standard enthalpy of formation of methanol is, -238.7 kJ/mole
