MCQ
The standard enthalpies of formation of $Al _{2} O _{3}$ and $CaO$ are $-1675\, kJ\, mol ^{-1}$ and $-635\, kJ\, mol ^{-1}$ respectively.

For the reaction $3 CaO +2 Al \rightarrow 3 Ca + Al _{2} O _{3}$ the standard reaction enthalpy $\Delta_{ r } H ^{0=}$ .......... $kJ$.

(Round off to the Nearest Integer).

  • A
    $220$
  • B
    $240$
  • $230$
  • D
    $250$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$230$
c
Given reaction:

$3 CaO + Al \rightarrow Al _{2} O _{3}+3 Ca$

Now, $\Delta_{ r } H ^{\circ}=\Sigma \Delta_{ f } H _{\text {Products }}^{\circ}-\Sigma \Delta_{ f } H _{\text {Reactants }}^{\circ}$

$=[1 \times(-1675)+3 \times 0]-[3 \times(-635)+2 \times 0]$

$=+230 kJ mol ^{-1}$
