Question

Which energy profile best shows that the enthalpy of formation of cs2 is 89.4 kj/mol?

Answer 1

Answer is: B. C(s) + 2S(s) + 89.4 kJ → CS2(l).

Missing question:
A. C(s) + 2S(s) → CS2(l) + 89.4 kJ.
B. C(s) + 2S(s) + 89.4 kJ → CS2(l).
C. C(s) + 2S(s) + 89.4 kJ → CS2(l) + 89.4 kJ.
D. C(s) + 2S(s) → CS2(l).
Because enthalpy of the system is greater that zero, this is endothermic reaction (chemical reaction that absorbs more energy than it releases), heat is included as a reactant.
