    The enthalpies of combustion of carbon and carbon monoxide are\[-393.5\]and\[-283\text{ }kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\]respectively. The enthalpy of formation of carbon monoxide per mole is

    A) \[110.5kJ\]          

    B)        \[676.5\text{ }kJ\]          

    C)        \[-\text{ }676.5\text{ }kJ\]        

    D)        \[-110.5kJ\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    I: \[C(s)+{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}C{{O}_{2}}(g);\]\[\Delta H=-393.5kJ\] II:\[CO(g)+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}CO(g);\]\[\Delta H=-283.0kJ\] Substracting (I) from (II) III:\[C(s)+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}CO(g),\]\[\Delta H=-110.5kJ\] This equation (III) also represents formation of one mole of CO and thus enthalpy change is the heat of formation of\[CO(g)\].
