When one mole of ethylene gas, C2H4, reacts with fluorine gas, hydrogen fluoride and carbon tetrafluoride gases are formed and 2496.7 kJ of heat is given off. What is ΔHf° for CF4(g)?

The enthalpy of formation of is -678.82 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles.

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

For the given chemical reaction:

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

We are given:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the enthalpy of formation of is -678.82 kJ/mol
