    The enthalpy change in the reaction \[2CO+{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}2C{{O}_{2}}\]is termed as

    A)  enthalpy of reaction

    B)  enthalpy of fusion

    C)  enthalpy of combustion

    D)  enthalpy of formation

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Since the given reaction is a balanced chemical reaction, the enthalpy change occurring during the reaction is called enthalpy of reaction \[({{\Delta }_{r}}H)\]. (Remember, here the enthalpy change cannot be said enthalpy of combustion because two moles of \[CO\]are used while heat of combustion is the heat liberated when one mole of a substance undergoes combustion in excess of oxygen.)
