The reaction is:
X + Y → W + Z
Chemical energy of reactant X = 199.3 J = Ux
Chemical energy of reactant Y = 272.3 J = Uy
Chemical energy of Product W = 41.9 J = Uw
Chemical energy of Product Z = ? = Uz
Where reaction loses energy = 111.6 J = ΔU
By using the equation:
(Ux + Uy) – (Uw + Uz) = ΔU
Ux + Uy – Uw – Uz = ΔU
Uz = Ux + Uy – Uw –ΔU
Uz = 199.3 + 272.3 – 41.9 – 111.6
Uz = 318.1 J
Product Z must contain 318.1 J chemical energy.
