<u>Answer:</u> The
for the reaction is 51.8 kJ.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.
According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.
The chemical equation for the reaction of carbon and water follows:

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:
(1)
( × 2)
(2)
( × 2)
(3)

The expression for enthalpy of the reaction follows:
![\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[2\times \Delta H_1]+[2\times \Delta H_2]+[1\times (-\Delta H_3)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20H%5Eo_%7Brxn%7D%3D%5B2%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_1%5D%2B%5B2%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_2%5D%2B%5B1%5Ctimes%20%28-%5CDelta%20H_3%29%5D)
Putting values in above equation, we get:
![\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(2\times (-393.7))+(2\times (-285.9))+(1\times -(-1411))]=51.8kJ](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20H%5Eo_%7Brxn%7D%3D%5B%282%5Ctimes%20%28-393.7%29%29%2B%282%5Ctimes%20%28-285.9%29%29%2B%281%5Ctimes%20-%28-1411%29%29%5D%3D51.8kJ)
Hence, the
for the reaction is 51.8 kJ.

For apex the answer is no solution
Answer:
49.4 g Solution
Explanation:
There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.
<em>A chemistry student needs 20.0g of acetic acid for an experiment. He has 400.g available of a 40.5 % w/w solution of acetic acid in acetone. </em>
<em>
Calculate the mass of solution the student should use. If there's not enough solution, press the "No solution" button. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.</em>
<em />
We have 400 g of solution and there are 40.5 g of solute (acetic acid) per 100 grams of solution. We can use this info to find the mass of acetic acid in the solution.

Since we only need 20.0 g of acetic acid, there is enough of it in the solution. The mass of solution that contains 20.0 g of solute is:
