Question

Determine the enthalpy change for the oxidation of ethanol to acetic acid,
CH3CH2OH() + O2(g) CH3COOH() + H2O()
given the thermochemical equations below.
2 CH3CH2OH() + O2(g) 2 CH3CHO() + 2 H2O() DrH = -400.8 kJ/mol-rxn
2 CH3CHO() + O2(g) 2 CH3COOH() DrH = -584.4 kJ/mol-rxn
A.-985.2 kJ/mol-rxn
B.-492.6 kJ/mol-rxn
C.-183.6 kJ/mol-rxn
D.+183.6 kJ/mol-rxn
E.+492.6 kJ/mol-rxn
