Question

Given that:
C(graphite)+ O2(g)CO2(g), ΔH=x kJ mol1

C(graphite)+ 12O2(g)CO(g), ΔH=y kJ mol1

CO(g)+ 12O2(g)CO2(g), ΔH=z kJ mol1

Solution

The correct option is B z=xy
C(graphite)+ O2(g) CO2(g) ΔH=x kJ mol1

C(graphite)+ 12O2(g) CO2(g) ΔH=y kJ mol1

CO(g)+ 12O2(g) CO2(g) ΔH=z kJ mol1

We can cleary see, eq.1 = eq.2 +eq.3
so, x=y+z
which means,
z=xy
