Chapter 6, Problem 6.6P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The $\text{ΔH°}$ value for the given oxidation reaction is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The chemical reactions in which energy is released during the formation of products are known as exothermic reactions. The energy released during the reaction is denoted by $\text{ΔH°}$. Exothermic and endothermic reactions are opposite to each other. The value of $\text{ΔH°}$ for exothermic and endothermic reactions is positive and negative respectively.
