Solution

The correct option is C -110.5
Many enthalpy changes are difficult to measure directly under standard conditions.
Hess law states that the total enthalpy change of a reaction is independent of the route taken.
To find :

Hf,C(s)+12O2(g)CO(g)

Given:- combustion of carbon
C+O2CO2:H1=393.5KJmol

combination of carbon monoxide

CO+12O2CO2:H2=283.5kJmol1

Formation of carbon monoxide :

H=H1H2=393.5(283.5)

=39.3.5+283.5=110 kJ/mol

Therefore, ans is C) 110kJmol1
