The given reaction represents the formation of H2O, and the X2 represents the enthalpy of formation of H2O. The enthalpy of formation is the heat evolved or absorbed when one mole of substance is formed from its constituent atoms. Related Theory A negative enthalpy change represents an exothermic change where energy is released from the reaction, a positive enthalpy change represents an endothermic reaction where energy is taken in from the surroundings.
Consider the following reactions: (i) H_(a q)^++ OH_(a q)^- → H_2 O_( i), Δ H =- X_1 ~kJ ~mol^-1 (ii) H_2(a q)+ 1 2 O_2(a q) → H_2 O_( I) Δ H =- X_2…
