19PRACTICE PROBLEM
Two compounds are said to be isomers of each other if they have the same molecular formula but different chemical structures. Calculate the reaction enthalpy for the gas-phase isomerization of methyl formate into acetic acid.
Use the following bond enthalpies:
C—C: 348 kJ/mol
C—H: 413 kJ/mol
C—O: 358 kJ/mol
O—H: 463 kJ/mol
C═O: 799 kJ/mol
