Solution

The correct option is C x=y+z
(i) C(graphite)+O2(g)CO2(g)(ii) C(graphite)+12O2(g)CO(g)(iii) CO(g)+12O2(g)CO2(g)
On analysis the three given reaction we can see that
by adding (ii) and (iii) we get (i)
(ii) + (iii) = (i)
Thus, the enthalpy of the reaction follows the same.
Addition of enthalpy of (ii) and (iii) will give enthalpy of reaction (i).
y + z = x
C (graphite)+O2(g)CO2(g),i.e.,x=y+z
