A) +172.5
B) \[-110.5\]
C) \[-1070\]
D) \[-676.5\]
E) + 110.5
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Combustion of graphite is as follows: \[C(s)+{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}C{{O}_{2}}(g)+393.5\,kJ\] ...(i) Combustion of carbon monoxide is, \[CO(g)+\frac{1}{2}(g)\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}C{{O}_{2}}(g)+283\,kJ\]...(ii) For obtaining\[CO\]as a product we reverse the Eq. (ii) as \[C{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}CO(g)+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}(g)-283\,kJ\]...(iii) \[C(g)+{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}C{{O}_{2}}(g)+393.5\,kJ\]...(iv) On adding Eq. (i) and Eq. (iii) \[C+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}CO+(393.5-283)\] \[=+110.5\text{ }kJ\] \[\therefore \] Heat of formation of CO is \[=+\text{ }110.5\text{ }kJ\] \[\therefore \] \[\Delta H=-110.5\text{ }kJ\]You need to login to perform this action.
