Calculate the enthalpy for this reaction: 2C(s) + H2(g) ---> C2H2(g) ΔH° = ??? kJ
Given the following thermochemical equations:

C2H2(g) + (5/2)O2(g) ---> 2CO2(g) + H2O(ℓ) ΔH° = -1299.5 kJ
C(s) + O2(g) ---> CO2(g) ΔH° = -393.5 kJ
H2(g) + (1/2)O2(g) ---> H2O(ℓ) ΔH° = -285.8 kJ

a
+1572 kJ

b
+226 kJ

c
-787 kJ

d
-226 kJ
