Question
### Calculating the Enthalpy of Reaction

**a. Calculate the enthalpy of reaction for:**

\[ 2 \text{CO}(g) + \text{O}_2(g) \rightarrow 2 \text{CO}_2(g) \]

**b. If 18.5 grams of carbon dioxide are produced, what is the change in energy in kJ?**

---

**Explanation:**

To solve part (a), you will need the standard enthalpies of formation for the reactants and products involved in the reaction. The enthalpy change for the reaction \(\Delta H_{reaction}\) can be calculated using Hess's Law:

\[ \Delta H_{reaction} = \Sigma \Delta H_f \text{(products)} - \Sigma \Delta H_f \text{(reactants)} \]

For part (b), use the enthalpy change per mole from part (a) to calculate the energy change for 18.5 grams of \(\text{CO}_2\). First, convert the mass of \(\text{CO}_2\) to moles:

\[ \text{Molar Mass of } \text{CO}_2 = 44.01 \text{ g/mol} \]
\[ \text{Moles of } \text{CO}_2 = \frac{18.5 \text{ g}}{44.01 \text{ g/mol}} \]

Then, multiply the moles by the enthalpy change per mole obtained in part (a) to find the total energy change in kJ.
