Solution
The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
The molar enthalpy of the formation, ΔH, is defined as the enthalpy change when 1 mole of a compound is formed directly from its constituent elements is stable and in standard state.
CaO(s)+CO2(g)→CaCO3(s)
Here compounds are involved in formation of CaCO3 not elements.
