Which energy profile best shows that the enthalpy of formation of CS2 is 89.4 KJ/mol?

Option C. Energy Profile D

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Enthalpy change ΔH = 89.4 KJ/mol.

Enthalpy change (ΔH) is simply defined as the difference between the heat of product (Hp) and the heat of reactant (Hr). Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Enthalpy change (ΔH) = Heat of product (Hp) – Heat of reactant (Hr)

ΔH = Hp – Hr

Note: If the enthalpy change (ΔH) is positive, it means that the product has a higher heat content than the reactant.

If the enthalpy change (ΔH) is negative, it means that the reactant has a higher heat content than the product.

Now, considering the question given, the enthalpy change (ΔH) is 89.4 KJ/mol and it is a positive number indicating that the heat content of the product is higher than the heat content of the reactant.

Therefore, Energy Profile D satisfy the enthalpy change (ΔH) for the formation of CS2 as it indicates that the heat content of product is higher than the heat content of the reactant.
