Galactic is referring to the galaxy and cosmos! :)
Actually, I strongly believe it is a switch.
Answer:
ΔH rxn = -1010 kJ/molC₂H₂
Explanation:
To obtain the enthalpy change for a reaction from bond energies what we do is to make an inventory of the bonds broken and formed for the balanced chemical reaction:
C₂H₂ + 5/2O₂ ⇒ 2CO₂ + H₂O
Bond Broken Bonds Formed
2 C-H + 1 C≡C + 5/2 O=O 4C=O + 2 H-O
Enthalpy bonds broken:
2 mol (456 kJ/mol)+ 1 mol (962 kJ/mol) + 5/2 mol (499 kJ/mol) = 3121.5 kJ
Enthalpy bond formed:
4 mol (802 kJ/mol) + 2 mol (462 kJ/mol) = 4132.0 kJ
ΔH rxn = H broken - H formed = 3121.5 kJ - 4132.0 kJ = - 1010 kJ (per mol C₂H₂ )
