We have to calculate2Cgraphite +H2(g)→C2H2(g);ΔH=?Given,C2H2(g)+5/2O2(g)→2CO2(g)+H2O(g)ΔH=−310.62kcalCgraphite +O2(g)→CO2(g);ΔH=−94.05kcalH2(g)+1/2O2(g)→H2O(g); ΔH=−68.32kcalMultiply Eq. (2) by Z and add in Eq. (3)2Cgraphite +2O2(g)→CO2(g); ΔH=−188.10kcalH2(g)+1/2O2(g)→H2O(g); ΔH=−68.32kcal=2Cgraphite +5/2O2(g)+H2(g)→2CO2(g)+H2O(g)ΔH=−256.42kcal … (4)Subtract Eq. (1) from Eq.
