    What is the enthalpy of hydrogenation of ethylene, given that the enthalpy of combustion of ethylene, hydrogen and ethane are\[-1410.0,-286.2\]and\[-1560.6\text{ }kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\]respectively at 298 K?

    A)  135.6           

    B)  \[-135.6\]

    C)  125.6          

    D)  \[-125.6\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Given, (i)\[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}(g)+3{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}2C{{O}_{2}}(g)+2{{H}_{2}}O(l)\]             \[\Delta H=-1410\text{ }kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\] (ii) \[{{H}_{2}}(g)+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}{{H}_{2}}O(l);\] \[\Delta H=-286.\text{ }2\text{ }kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\] (iii) \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}(g)+3\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}(g)\to 2C{{O}_{2}}(g)+3{{H}_{2}}O(l)\] \[\Delta H=-1560.\text{ }6\text{ }kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\] Required reaction is \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}+{{H}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{6}}(g),\]\[\Delta H=?\] Equation (i) + Equation (ii) - Equation (iii) gives \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}+{{H}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}(g),\] \[\Delta H=-1410.\text{ }0+(-286.\text{ }2)-(-1560.6)\] \[=-135.6\text{ }kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\]
