Solution

The correct option is C 4 moles of carbon and 3.5 moles of O2
Given : ΔfH(CO2,g)=75 kCal/mol ; ΔfH(CO,g)=25 kCal/mol;
C+O2CO2

1 mole 1 mole1 mole
C+(1/2)O2CO
1 mole 0.5 mole1 mole
(A) 9 mole of CO forms and heat evolved is 9×25=225 kCal/mole
(B) 2 mole of CO2 forms and heat evolved is 2×75=150 kCal/mole.
(C) one mole of CO and 3 moles of CO2 forms and heat evolved is =3×75+0.5×25=237.5 kCal/mole
(D) 2.5 moles of CO2 forms and heat evolved is 2.5×75=187.5 kCal/mole
