Calculate heat of formation of KOH(s)KOH(s) using the following equations. K(s)+H2O(l)+aq.⟶KOH(aq.)+12H2(g);ΔH=−48.0 kcal…(1)K(s) + H_2O(l) + aq. \longrightarrow KOH(aq.) + \frac{1}{2}H_2(g); \quad \Delta H = -48.0 \text{ kcal} \quad \dots(1) H2(g)+12O2(g)⟶H2O(l);ΔH=−68.4 kcal…(2)H_2(g) + \frac{1}{2}O_2(g) \longrightarrow H_2O(l); \quad \Delta H = -68.4 \text{ kcal} \quad \dots(2) KOH(s)+aq.⟶KOH(aq.);ΔH=−14.0 kcal…(3)KOH(s) + aq. \longrightarrow KOH(aq.); \quad \Delta H = -14.0 \text{ kcal} \quad \dots(3)
