A scientist measures the standard enthalpy change for the following reaction to be -327.2 kJ : P4O10(s) 6 H2O(l)4H3PO4(aq) Based on this value and the standard enthalpies of formation for the other substances, the standard enthalpy of formation of P4O10(s) is kJ/mol.

ΔH°f P4O10(s) = - 3115.795 KJ/mol

Explanation:

∴ ΔH°rxn = - 327.2 KJ

∴ ΔH°f H2O(l) = - 285.84 KJ/mol

∴ ΔH°F H3PO4(aq) = - 1289.5088 KJ/mol

⇒ ΔH°rxn = (4)(- 1289.5088) - (6)(- 285.84) - ΔH°f P4O10(s) = - 327.2 KJ

⇒ ΔH°f P4O10(s) = - 5158.035 + 1715.04 + 327.2

⇒ ΔH°f P4O10(s) = - 3115.795 KJ/mol
