Question
### Chemical Reaction Enthalpies

**Objective:**
Determine the enthalpy change (\( \Delta H \)) for the desired reaction:

\[ \text{C(s) + 2 S(s)} \rightarrow \text{CS}_2(l) \quad \Delta H = ??? \]

---

**Known Reactions:**

1. **Carbon Combustion:**
   \[ \text{C(s) + O}_2(g) \rightarrow \text{CO}_2(g) \]
   \[ \Delta H = -393.5 \, \text{kJ} \]

2. **Sulfur Combustion:**
   \[ \text{S(s) + O}_2(g) \rightarrow \text{SO}_2(g) \]
   \[ \Delta H = -296.8 \, \text{kJ} \]

3. **Carbon Disulfide Combustion:**
   \[ \text{CS}_2(l) + 3 \text{O}_2(g) \rightarrow \text{CO}_2(g) + 2 \text{SO}_2(g) \]
   \[ \Delta H = -1103.9 \, \text{kJ} \]

---

**Explanation:**

To find the enthalpy change for the reaction forming carbon disulfide (\( \text{CS}_2(l) \)), use Hess's Law by combining the known reactions.

- **Hess's Law** states that the total enthalpy change is the same regardless of the path taken, making it possible to use known reactions to calculate the unknown enthalpy change.

**Approach:**

- Begin with the desired reaction and rearrange the known reactions, applying the principles of thermochemistry, to solve for the unknown enthalpy change.
