Hi,
I am slightly confused with this and was wondering if anyone could help.
So there are no numbers I need to input yet, I am just trying to understand the process:
2C + 3H2 = C2H6 (formation)
∆H1 = 2CO2 and ∆H2 = H2o
What I don't get is why are we only using Carbon on one side and Hydrogen on the other?
The other problem I really don't get...
2C + 3H2 + 1/2 O2 = C2H5OH
∆H1 = 2CO2 and ∆H2 = 3H2O
Why 3 moles of hydrogen? There isn't 3 moles of hydrogen in the products?
Sorry for sounding thick? Any help is greatly appreciated
