Consider the decomposition of liquid benzene, C6H6(/), to gaseous acetylene, C2H2{g)

Chapter 5, Problem 5.46

(choose chapter or problem)

Consider the decomposition of liquid benzene, C6H6(/), to gaseous acetylene, C2H2{g): t.H = +630 kJ (a) What is the enthalpy change for the reverse reaction? (b) What is t.H for the formation of 1 mol of acetylene? (c) Which is more likely to be thermodynamically favored, the forward reaction or the reverse reaction? (d) If C6{g) were consumed instead of C6H6(1), would you expect the magnitude of t.H to increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain.
