Using the table of standard reduction potentials determine whether the reaction of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas, to produce water, occurs spontaneously. My answer that I got is yes it does occur spontaneously … can you please double check my answer and can you please provide an explanation on why?

it is the most commonly accepted one

answer seismograph;

answer : third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

explanation :

let us write down the given equations

equation 1 :

equation 2 :

equation 3 :

let us use hess's law to find out which 2 equations can be added to get the third equation.

let us reverse equation 2 and multiply it by 2. the new equation that we get is,

equation 4 :

let us add equation 1 & 4

the above equation is similar to equation 3 but has different value for dhrxn.

therefore third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol
