    Carbon and carbon monoxide bum in oxygen  to form carbon dioxide according to the  following reactions                       \[C+{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}C{{O}_{2}};\]          \[\Delta H=-394\,kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\] \[2CO+{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}2C{{O}_{2}};\]  \[\Delta H=-569\,kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\] The heat of formation of \[1\text{ }mole\]of  monoxide is, thus

    A)  \[-219.0\text{ }kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    B)  \[-109.5\text{ }kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    C)  \[-175.0\text{ }kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    D)  \[-87.5\text{ }kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given, reactions are \[C+{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}C{{O}_{2}};\]   \[\Delta H=-394kJ/mol\] ...(i) \[2CO+{{O}_{2}}\to 2C{{O}_{2}};\] \[\Delta H=-569kJ/mol\]...(ii) We obtained reaction \[C+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}CO;\]    \[\Delta H=?\] Divide Eq. (ii) by 2, take its reciprocal and add the obtained equation in Eq. (i)                 \[C{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}CO+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}},\]  \[\Delta H=+284.5kJ/mol\]                 \[\frac{C+{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}C{{O}_{2}},\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\Delta H=-394kJ/mol}{C+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}CO,\,\,\,\,\,\,\Delta H=-109.5kJ/mol}\] \[\Delta H(CO)=-109.5kJ/mol\]
