Heat of Reaction
« on: May 04, 2010, 10:45:04 AM »
For the reaction CO+ NO2→ CO2+ NO the activation energy for the forward reaction is 135kJ/mol of CO reacted.

How do I determine the heat of reaction?

Activation energy is unrelated to the reaction heat.

This is what I have come up with:

  CO=NO2→ CO2+NO
Heat of reaction= (CO2+NO)-(CO+NO2)
                      = (-110.5+33.1)- (-393.5+90.29)
                      = -77.4 + -303.21
                      = -380.61

Am I correct?

                      =-225.8

I had a positive where I needed a negative. Is this equation correct?
