Calculate the maximum amount of useful work that can be obtained and comment on the spontaneity for the reaction at 25c :
c2h4(g) + 3 o2(g) --> 2 co2 (g) + 2h2o(l)

Explanation:

First, we find in the tables the ΔH of formation of each compound. As you can see in the (image 1)

Then we solve the ecuation for ΔH°reaction

ΔH°reaction=∑ΔH°f(products)−∑ΔH°f(Reactants)

ΔH°reaction= (-2* 393.5 - 2*285.8) - (52.4 + 0) kJ/mol

ΔH°reaction = -1.41 *10^3  kJ/mol
