Chapter 4, Problem 4.21NP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of $\Delta H_R^o$ should be calculated at 391.4 K for the following reaction.${\text{CH}}_3\text{COOH(g)}+2{\text{O}}_2\text{(g)}\to 2{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}(g)+2{\text{CO}}_2\text{(g)}$

Concept Introduction:

The mathematical expression for the standard enthalpy change value at room temperature is:

  $\Delta H{°}_R={\displaystyle \sum \text{n}}\text{H°(products})-{\displaystyle \sum \text{p}}\text{H°(reactants)}$

Where, n and p represents the coefficients of reactants and products in the balanced chemical equation.
