On the basis of theromochemical equations( 1), (2) and (3), find out which of the algebraic relationships given in options (a) to (d) is correct
1. C(graphite)+O2(g)→CO2(g); ΔrH=x kJ mol−12. C(graphite)+12O2(g)→CO(g);Δr H=y kJ mol−13. CO(g)+12O2(g)→CO2(g); ΔrH=z kJ mol−1
(a) z = x + y
(b) x =y - z
(c) x =y + z
(d) y =22 - x
(c)
The algebraic relationships of the given reaction is equation (a) -equation (b) = equation (c)
(a) C(graphite)+O2(g)→CO2(g); ΔrH=xkJ mol−1(b) C(graphite)+12O2(g)→CO(g); ΔrH=yk J mol−1CO(g)+12O2(g)→CO2(g);ΔrH=yk j mol−1
Hence, x- y= z or x= y+ z
