Question

Given:
C(s)+O2(g)CO2,(g); H=94.3 kcal/mol
CO(g)+12O2(g)CO2(g); H=67.4 kcal/mol
O2(g)2O(g); H=117.4 kcal/mol
CO(g)C(g)+O(g); H=230.6 kcal/mol
Calculate H for C(s)C(g) in kcal/mol.

Solution

The correct option is D 145
Given reactions are,
eq.(1)
C(s)+O2(g)CO2,(g); H1=94.3 kcal/mol

eq.(2)
CO(g)+12O2(g)CO2(g); H2=67.4 kcal/mol

eq.(3)
O2(g)2O(g); H3=117.4 kcal/mol

​​​​​​​eq.(4)
CO(g)C(g)+O(g); H4=230.6 kcal/mol

The required reaction,
C(s)C(g) can be obtained by the combination,
Target equation = eq.(1)eq.(2)12eq.(3)+eq.(4)
So, enthalpy change will be:
H=H1H212H3+H4
putting all the values,
=94.3+67.458.7+230.6=145 kcal/mol.
