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

    A)  \[-676.9\text{ }kJ\]       

    B)  \[676.5\text{ }kJ\]

    C)  \[110.5\text{ }kJ\]         

    D)  \[-110.5\text{ }kJ\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     \[C(s)+{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}C{{O}_{2}}(g)\] \[\Delta H=-\text{ }393.5\text{ }kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\] \[CO(g)+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}(g)\to C{{O}_{2}}(g)\] \[\Delta H=-283\,kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\] On subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i), we get \[C(s)+{{O}_{2}}(g)\to CO(g);\]        \[\Delta H=-110.5\text{ }kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\] The enthalpy of formation of carbon monoxide per mole\[=-110.5\text{ }kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]
