When CO2(g) reacts with H2(g) to form C2H2(g) and H2O(g), 23.3 kJ of energy are absorbed for each mole of CO2(g) that reacts. Write a balanced thermochemical equation for the reaction with an energy term in kJ as part of the equation. Note that the answer box for the energy term is case sensitive. Use the SMALLEST INTEGER coefficients possible and put the energy term in the last box on the appropriate side of the equation. If a box is not needed, leave it blank. 2CO2 + 5H2 + C2H2 + 4H2O + -46.6kJ

Answer:

[tex]2CO_{2}(g)+5H_{2}(g)\rightarrow C_{2}H_{2}(g)+4H_{2}O(g)-46.6kJ[/tex]

Explanation:

As energy is absorbed therefore it is an endothermic reaction. Hence energy value should be written in the product side with a negative sign.

Reaction:  [tex]CO_{2}(g)+H_{2}(g)\rightarrow C_{2}H_{2}(g)+H_{2}O(g)[/tex]

C balance: [tex]2CO_{2}(g)+H_{2}(g)\rightarrow C_{2}H_{2}(g)+H_{2}O(g)[/tex]

H and O balance: [tex]2CO_{2}(g)+5H_{2}(g)\rightarrow C_{2}H_{2}(g)+4H_{2}O(g)[/tex]

Here 2 moles of [tex]CO_{2}[/tex] react. So, energy absorbed during the reaction is [tex](2\times 23.3)[/tex] kJ or 46.6 kJ

Energy balance: [tex]2CO_{2}(g)+5H_{2}(g)\rightarrow C_{2}H_{2}(g)+4H_{2}O(g)-46.6kJ[/tex]

Balanced thermochemical equation:

[tex]2CO_{2}(g)+5H_{2}(g)\rightarrow C_{2}H_{2}(g)+4H_{2}O(g)-46.6kJ[/tex]
