Question Number 18846 by Tinkutara last updated on 30/Jul/17

There are two crystalline forms of PbO ;  one is yellow and the other is red. The  standard enthalpies of formation of  these two forms are −217.3 and −219  kJ per mole respectively. Calculate the  enthalpy change for the solid-solid  phase transition.  PbO (yellow) → PbO (red)
