Question 172

Multiple Choice

The formulas of ethylene, water, and ethanol suggests that the reaction,C2H4(g) + H2O(g) \rarr C2H5OH(l) could be made to occur under the correct conditions. This is a wild idea, but Mike says it's just a matter of the right catalyst combination, reactor temperature, and pressure. Using the values in the table below, what is the calculated value of ?H° for Mike's proposed reaction?  The formulas of ethylene, water, and ethanol suggests that the reaction,C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>4</sub>(g) + H<sub>2</sub>O(g)  \rarr  C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>5</sub>OH(l) could be made to occur under the correct conditions.
