SiO2(s) + 4 HCl(g)
SiCl4(g) + 2 H2O(g) ... balanced equation
The ∆Hrxn will be the sum fo the products - the sum of the reactants, or ∑n∆Hprod - ∑n∆Hreact)
Sum of products = (-657 + 2x-241.8) = -657 + -483.6 = -1140.6 kJ
Sum of reactants = -910.9 + 4x-92.3 = -910.9 + -369.2 = -1280.1 kJ
∆Hrxn = Products - Reactants = -1140.6 - (-1280.1) = 139.5 kJ (Answer B)
