Solution
The correct option is B−108.753kJ Heat of reaction at constant volume = Change in internal energy qv=ΔE
Heat of reaction at constant pressure = Change in enthalpy energy qp=ΔH=−110kJ
The formation of carbon monoxide involves the following reaction : C(s)Graphite+12O2(g)Oxygen⟶CO(g)Carbonmonoxide
We know that heat of reaction at constant volume and pressure are related by the following equation : ΔH=ΔE+ΔnRT where, Δn= change in the number of moles = number of moles of product − number of moles of reactants 1−(1+12) =−12
R=8.314JK−1mol−1=0.008314kJK−1mol−1 T= temperature =300K
Putting the values in the equation −110=ΔE+(−12)×0.008314×300
