Chapter 7, Problem 86E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: From the given reaction ${\text{ΔH}}^{\text{0}}$ has to be calculated.

${\text{CO}}_{\text{(g)}}{\text{+2H}}_{\text{2}}{}_{\text{(g)}}\to {\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}{\text{OH}}_{\text{(l)}}$

Concept introduction

Standard Enthalpy change ( ${\text{ΔH}}^{\text{0}}$): The heat change when molar quantities of reactants as specified by chemical equation to form a product at standard conditions.

Standard conditions are: ${\text{25}}^{\text{0}}\text{C}$ and 1 atmosphere pressure.
