Solution

The correct option is B 393.7
The thermochemical reactions are as given below:
C (graphite) +12O2CO;ΔH=110.5 kJ/mol ...(1)
CO+12O2CO2;ΔH=283.2 kJ/mol ......(2)
The above two reactions are added to obtain the following reaction:
C (graphite) +O2CO2
By applying Hess's law, the enthalpy change will be 110.5+(283.2)=393.7 kJ/mol
Hence, the heat of the given reaction is 393.7 kJ/mol.
