Please answer question 10 part A

## Learning Goal:
To understand how to use Hess's law to find the enthalpy of an overall reaction.

### Hess’s Law:
The change in enthalpy, \( \Delta H \), is the heat absorbed or produced during any reaction at constant pressure. Hess's law states that \( \Delta H \) for an overall reaction is the sum of the \( \Delta H \) values for the individual reactions. For example, if we wanted to know the enthalpy change for the reaction:

\[ 3\text{Mn} + 3\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 3\text{MnO}_2 \]

we could calculate it using the enthalpy values for the following individual steps:

- **Step 1**: \( 4\text{Al} + 3\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3 \)
- **Step 2**: \( 3\text{Mn} + 2\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3 \rightarrow 3\text{MnO}_2 + 4\text{Al} \)

**Overall**: \( 3\text{Mn} + 3\text{O}_2 \rightarrow 3\text{MnO}_2 \)

If the enthalpy change is \( -3352 \, \text{kJ/mol} \) for step 1 and \( 1792 \, \text{kJ/mol} \) for step 2, then the enthalpy change for the overall reaction is calculated as follows:

\[
\Delta H = -3352 + 1792 = -1560 \, \text{kJ/mol}
\]

It is also significant to note that the change in enthalpy is a state function, meaning it is independent of path. In other words, the sum of the \( \Delta H \) values for any set of reactions that produce the desired product from the starting materials gives the same overall \( \Delta H \).

---

### Now consider the following set of reactions:

1. \( \text{CO} + \frac{1}{2}\text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{CO}_2 \), \( \Delta H = -283 \, \text{kJ/mol} \)
2. \( \text{C} + \text{O}_2
