MCQ
The enthalpies of combustion of carbon and carbon monodie are $-393.5$  and $-283 \,kJ\, mol^{-1}$  respectivley. The enthalpy of formation of carbon monoxide per mole is.......$kJ$
  • A
    $ - 676.5$
  • B
    $676.5$
  • C
    $110.5$
  • $ - 110.5$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$ - 110.5$
(d)$C(s) + {O_2}(g) \to C{O_2}(g)$
$\Delta H = - 393.5\,KJ\,mo{l^{ - 1}}$…..$(i)$
$CO(g) + 1/2{O_2}(g) \to C{O_2}(g)$
$\Delta H = - 283\,KJ\,mo{l^{ - 1}}$…..$(ii)$
On substracting equation $(ii)$ from equation $(i)$
We get
$C(s) + {O_2}(g) \to CO(g)$; $\Delta H = - 110.5\,KJ\,mo{l^{ - 1}}$
The enthalpy of formation of carbon monooxide per mole $ = - 110.5\,KJ\,mo{l^{ - 1}}$
