    Which of the following reaction defines \[\Delta H_{f}^{o}?\]

    A) \[{{C}_{(diamond)}}+{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}C{{O}_{2}}(g)\]

    B) \[\frac{1}{2}{{H}_{2}}(g)+\frac{1}{2}{{F}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}HF(g)\]

    C) \[{{N}_{2}}(g)+3{{H}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}2N{{H}_{3}}(g)\]

    D) \[CO(g)+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}C{{O}_{2}}(g)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\Delta H_{f}^{o}\]is the enthalpy change when 1 mol of the substance is formed from its elements in the standard  state. Reaction (a) does not represent \[\Delta H_{f}^{o}\]because standard state of carbon is graphite and not diamond.
