  • question_answer
    The following two reactions are known                 \[F{{e}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}(s)+3CO(g)\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}2Fe(s)+3C{{O}_{2}}(g);\] \[\Delta H=-26.8\,kJ\] \[FeO(s)+CO(g)\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}Fe(s)+C{{O}_{2}}(g);\] \[\Delta H=-16.5\,kJ\] The value of \[\Delta H\]for the following reaction \[F{{e}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}(s)+CO(g)\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}2FeO(s)+C{{O}_{2}}(g)\]

    A)  + 10.3 kJ             

    B)  - 43.3 Kj              

    C)  - 10.3 kJ              

    D)  + 6.2 kJ

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given, (I)\[F{{e}_{2}}O(s)+3CO(g)\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}2Fe(s)+3C{{O}_{2}}(g);\]\[\Delta H=-26.8\,\text{kJ}\] (II)\[FeO(s)+CO(g)\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}Fe(s)+C{{O}_{2}}(g);\]\[\Delta H=-16.5\,\text{kJ}\] On multiplying Eq (II) with 2, we get (III) \[2FeO(s)+2CO(g)\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}2Fe(s)+2C{{O}_{2}}(g);\]\[\Delta H=-33\,\text{kJ}\] On subtracting Eq (III) from I, we get \[F{{e}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}(s)+CO(g)\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}2FeO(s)+C{{O}_{2}}(g);\]\[\Delta H=-26.8-(-33)\] \[=+6.2\,\text{kJ}\]
