Question on ΔH
« on: March 08, 2011, 10:06:29 PM »
Consider the following reaction.
2 CH3OH(l) + 3 O2(g)  4 H2O(l) + 2 CO2(g)       ΔH = -1452.8 kJ
What is the value of ΔH if the equation is multiplied throughout by 2?

Would the ΔH stay the same? (I don't quite understand why though-could someone explain?)
Thanks!!!

Isn't that -1452.8 kJ/mol?
