### Thermochemistry: Formation and Combustion Reactions

**Study the reactions for the formation of compounds from their elements:**

1. \( \text{C(s)} + \text{O}_2\text{(g)} \rightarrow \text{CO}_2\text{(g)} \quad \Delta H = -394 \text{ kJ} \)

2. \( \text{H}_2\text{(g)} + \frac{1}{2} \text{O}_2\text{(g)} \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{O(l)} \quad \Delta H = -242 \text{ kJ} \)

3. \( 2\text{C(s)} + 3\text{H}_2\text{(g)} \rightarrow \text{C}_2\text{H}_6\text{(g)} \quad \Delta H = -84 \text{ kJ} \)

---

**The combustion of \( \text{C}_2\text{H}_6 \) is shown by the following equation:**

\[ \text{C}_2\text{H}_6\text{(g)} + \frac{7}{2} \text{O}_2\text{(g)} \rightarrow 2\text{CO}_2\text{(g)} + 3\text{H}_2\text{O(l)} \quad \Delta H_c = ? \]

**Choose the correct value for \( \Delta H_c \):**

- \(-1,430 \text{ kJ}\)
- \( \underline{286 \text{ kJ}} \) *[Highlighted as the chosen answer]*
- \(1,430 \text{ kJ}\)
- \(-286 \text{ kJ}\)

In this exercise, students are asked to calculate or verify the enthalpy of combustion (\( \Delta H_c \)) for ethane using the information provided for the standard enthalpies of formation. The correct choice is highlighted, but the calculation approach would involve using Hess’s Law and the given formation reactions.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data

1. C(s) + O2(g) ---> CO2(g), DH = -394 KJ

2. H2(g) + 1/2O2(g) ---> H2O(l), DH = -242 KJ

3. 2C(s) + 3H2(g) ---> C2H6(g), DH = --84 KJ

Given combustion reaction of ethane is 

C2H6(g) + 7/2O2(g) ---> 2CO2(g)+3H2O(l), DH=?
