The standard heat of formation, ΔH∘fΔHf∘, is defined as the enthalpy change for the formation of one mole of substance from its constituent elements in their standard states. Thus, elements in their standard states have ΔH∘f=0ΔHf∘=0. Heat of formation values can be used to calculate the enthalpy change of any reaction.

Question

The standard heat of formation, ΔH∘fΔHf∘, is defined as the enthalpy change for the formation of one mole of substance from its constituent elements in their standard states. Thus, elements in their standard states have ΔH∘f=0ΔHf∘=0. Heat of formation values can be used to calculate the enthalpy change of any reaction.

Consider, for example, the reaction

2NO(g)+O2(g)⇌2NO2(g)2NO(g)+O2(g)⇌2NO2(g)

with heat of formation values given by the following table:

Substance ΔH∘fΔHf∘
(kJ/molkJ/mol)
NO(g)NO(g) 90.2
O2(g)O2(g) 0
NO2(g)NO2(g) 33.2

 

Then the standard heat of reaction for the overall reaction is

ΔH∘rxn===ΔH∘f(products)2(33.2)−114 kJ−−ΔH∘f(reactants)[2(90.2)+0]

 

 

The combustion of ethene, C2H4C2H4, occurs via the reaction

C2H4(g)+3O2(g)→2CO2(g)+2H2O(g)C2H4(g)+3O2(g)→2CO2(g)+2H2O(g)

with heat of formation values given by the following table:

Substance ΔH∘fΔHf∘
(kJ/molkJ/mol)
C2H4C2H4 (g)(g) 52.47
CO2(g)CO2(g) −−393.5
H2O(g)H2O(g) −−241.8

Calculate the enthalpy for the combustion of 1 mole of ethene.

Express your answer to four significant figures and include the appropriate units.
