Consider the decomposition of liquid water, H₂O(l):
(a) What is the enthalpy change for the reverse reaction?
AHreverse -205.9
X kJ/mol.
H₂O(1) H₂(g) + 1/2 O₂(g)
(b) Balance the forward reaction with whole-number coefficients. What is AH for the reaction represented by this equation?
ΔΗ = 541.0
X kJ/mol.
AH should increase
AH = 285.9 kJ
(c) which is more likely to be thermodynamically-favored, the forward reaction or the reverse reaction?
The forward reaction. ✔ X
(d) If the (forward) reaction were written to consume water gas, H₂O(g), instead of liquid water, would you expect the
magnitude of AH to increase (become more positive), decrease (become more negative), or stay the same?
