Answer

$$CH_3CH_2OH(l) \longrightarrow CH_3OCH_3(l) $$ $\Delta H^o_{rxn} = 74.3 \ kJ/mol$

Work Step by Step

1. Reverse the second equation: $$2 CO_2(g) + 3 H_2O (g) \longrightarrow CH_3OCH_3 (l) + 3O_2(g)$$ $\Delta H^o_{rxn} = 1309.1 \ kJ/mol$ 2. Sum the equations: $$2 CO_2(g) + 3 H_2O(g) + CH_3CH_2OH(l) + 3O_2(g) \longrightarrow CH_3OCH_3(l) + 3O_2(g) + 2 CO_2(g) + 3 H_2O (g)$$ Removing the repeated ones: $$CH_3CH_2OH(l) \longrightarrow CH_3OCH_3(l) $$ $\Delta H^o_{rxn} = 1309.1 \ kJ/mol - 1234.8 \ kJ/mol = 74.3 \ kJ/mol$
