Question

Given 2H2(g) + O2(g) -> 2H2O(l), ΔH = -572 kJ, what is ΔH for the reaction H2(g) + 1/2 O2(g) -> H2O(l)?
Options
A -572 kJ
B +572 kJ
C -286 kJ
Correct Answer
D +286 kJ
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Multiplying a thermochemical equation by a factor multiplies ΔH by the same factor: (1/2) * (-572 kJ) = -286 kJ.
