    The enthalpies of combustion of carbon and carbon monoxide are \[-393.5\] and \[-283\,\,kJ\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\] respectively. The enthalpy of formation of carbon monoxide per mol is

    A) \[110.5\,\,kJ\]                  

    B) \[676.5\,\,kJ\]

    C) \[-676.5\,\,kJ\]                 

    D)  \[-110.5\,\,kJ\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[I:\,\,C(s)+{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}C{{O}_{2}}(g);\] \[\Delta H=-393.5\,\,kJ\] \[II:\,\,CO(g)+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}C{{O}_{2}}(g);\] \[\Delta H=-283.0\,\,kJ\] \[III:\,\,C(s)+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}CO(g);\] \[\Delta H=-110.5\,\,kJ\] Equation \[III\] also represents the enthalpy of formation of 1 mole of \[CO\] and thus, enthalpy change is the heat of formation of\[CO(g)\].
