Find H from the balanced reaction C6H12O6(s) + 6O2 —> 6CO2 + 6H2O ∆H° = ΣnH° - ΣnH° ∆H° = 6( -393.5 kJ) + 6( -285.8 kJ) +1273.1 kJ = [ -2361 kJ + (-1714.8 kJ) ] - [ -1273.1 kJ ] = -2802.8 kJ (this is the enthalpy of the balanced reaction ∆H) To find molar enthalpy: ∆H° = -2802.7 kJ/mol n = 18g / 180g/mol = 0.1 mol ∆H° = -2802.7 kJ/mol * 0.1 mol = -280.27 kJ
