The mechanism for the conversion of compound P to compound S consists of the following elementary steps: P → Q ΔH = +40 kJ Q → R ΔH = −70 kJ R → S ΔH = −15 kJ Based on these values, what is the overall enthalpy change, ΔHrxn∘\Delta H^{\circ}_{\text{rxn}}, for the reaction P → S ? a) −30 kJ-30\ \text{kJ} b) −45 kJ-45\ \text{kJ} c) +40 kJ+40\ \text{kJ} d) −15 kJ-15\ \text{kJ}
