Solution

The correct option is B 56.2 kJ mol1
(i) 2Fe2O3(s)4Fe(s)+3O2(g);ΔrGo=+1487.0 kJ mol1
(ii) 2CO(g)+O2(g)2CO2(g);ΔrGo=514.4kJ mol1
Multiply above reaction with 3
(iii) 6CO(g)+3O2(g)6CO2(g);ΔrGo=3×514.4=1543.2kJ mol1
When we add reaction (i) and reaction (iii), we get reaction (iv)
(iv)2Fe2O3(s)+6CO(g)4Fe(s)+6CO2(g)
Free energy change, ΔrGo for the reaction will be,
1487.01543.2=56.2 kJ mol1
