MCQ
$2C + {O_2} \to 2CO;\,\,\Delta H = - 220\,kJ$ Which of the following statement is correct for this reaction
  • A
    Heat of combustion of carbon is  $110 \,kJ$
  • Reaction is exothermic
  • C
    Reaction needs no initiation
  • D
    All of these are correct

Answer

Correct option: B.
Reaction is exothermic
(b)$2C + {O_2} \to 2CO$; $\Delta H = - 220\,KJ$
This reaction does not represent complete combustion of carbon, hence heat of combustion of carbon will not be equal to $110\,kJ$. The negative sign of $\Delta H$ indicates that this reaction is exothermic. Also, despite being spontaneous reaction, it requires initiation.
