Part II: Estimating Heat of Reaction from ΔHr
Find the value of ΔH for the reaction H2O(l) → H2O(g) from these values of ΔHf H2O(l) = -286 kJ/mol and ΔHf H2O(g) = -188 kJ/mol (show calculation)
ΔH = ΔHf H2O(g) - ΔHf H2O(l)
ΔH = -188 kJ/mol - (-286 kJ/mol)
ΔH = -188 kJ/mol + 286 kJ/mol
ΔH = 98 kJ/mol
