MCQ
$(\Delta H - \Delta U)$ for the formation of carbon monoxide $(CO)$ from its elements at $298\, K$ is ............. $\mathrm{J\,mol}^{-1}$   $(R= 8.314\,J\,K^{-1}\, mol^{-1})$
  • A
    $- 2477.57$
  • B
    $2477.57$
  • C
    $-1238.78$
  • $1238.78$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$1238.78$
d
For the reaction, $C_{(s)}+\frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)} \rightarrow C O$

$\Delta H=\Delta U+\Delta n R T$

or $\quad \Delta H-\Delta U=\Delta n R T$

$\Delta n=1-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\Delta H-\Delta U=\frac{1}{2} \times 8.314 \times 298$

$=1238.78 \,J \,m o l^{-1}$
