Question

Given the standard enthalpy changes for the reactions:
P4(s) + 3 O2(g) → P4O6(s) ΔHº = –1640 kJ mol–1
P4(s) + 5 O2(g) → P4O10(s) ΔHº = –2940 kJ mol–1
Calculate the standard enthalpy change ∆Hº for the following reaction:
P4O6(s) + 2 O2(g) → P4O10(s)

A.

–4.58 × 10^3 kJ mol–1

B.

–1.30 × 10^3 kJ mol–1

✓ Correct
C.

1.79 kJ mol–1

D.

4.82 × 10^6 kJ mol–1
