Enthalpy changes depend on the number and type of bonds broken and formed.
Hydrogen gas can be formed industrially by the reaction of natural gas with steam.
CH4(g) + H2O(g) → 3H2(g) + CO(g)
Determine the enthalpy change, ΔH, for the reaction, in kJ, using section 11 of the data booklet.
Bond enthalpy for C≡O: 1077 kJ mol−1
