Consider the following hypothetical reaction D and E occurring in two steps to form G:
(1) D + E → F ΔH° = +50 kJ/mol
(2) F + E → G ΔH° = +100 kJ/mol
In the following Hess's law diagram, identify the arrow that corresponds to each step and determine the arrow that corresponds to the overall reaction. Identify the location of the products and the reactants.
Consider the formation of X and X forming which occurs in two steps as shown below:
(i) W + 2X → 2Y ΔH° = +100 kJ
(ii) X + 2Y → 2Z ΔH° = –60 kJ
(iii) W + 3X → 2Z ΔH° = ?
Select the Hess's law diagram that best depicts the individual reactions and the overall process.
Select the correct addition of (i) and (ii) to get (iii)

Given the following data:
H2(g) + 1/2 O2(g) → H2O(l) ΔH = –285.8 kJ
N2O5(g) + H2O(l) → 2 HNO3(l) ΔH = –76.6 kJ
1/2 N2(g) + 3/2 O2(g) + 1/2 H2(g) ΔH = –174.1 kJ
Calculate ΔH for 2 N2O5(g) → 2 N2(g) + 5 O2(g)
The reaction of P4(g) and chlorine gas to form PCl5(g) has a ΔH = –433.8 kJ/mol. On the other hand, the reaction of PCl3(g) and chlorine gas to form PCl5(g) has a ΔH = –87.9 kJ/mol. In these conditions, what is the enthalpy of the formation of PCl3(g)?
Consider the reaction A + B ⇌ 2 C, K = 1.93 × 103.
Calculate K for 4 C ⇌ 2 A + 2 B.
Calculate the enthalpy change for the hypothetical reaction
A(s) + 2 B2(g) → AB4(g)
Given the enthalpy values for the following reactions
AB4(g) + 2 C2(g) → AC2(g) + 2 B2C(l)
ΔH = −790.2 kJ
A(s) + C2(g) → AC2(g)
