    Heat of formation of CO and\[\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\] are \[-\text{ }26.4\] and\[~-94.0\]kcal/mol respectively. What is the heat of combustion of CO in k-cal?

    A)  + 26.4                                  

    B)  120.6

    C)  -67.6                                    

    D)  135.2

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Given, \[{{\Delta }_{f}}HCO=-26.4\,\text{kcal/mol}\] \[{{\Delta }_{f}}HC{{O}_{2}}=-94.0\,\text{kcal/mol}\] \[CO+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}C{{O}_{2}}\] \[2CO+{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}2C{{O}_{2}}\] Heat of combustion, \[{{\Delta }_{r}}H\] \[\sum{{{\Delta }_{f}}H(product)-\sum{{{\Delta }_{f}}H}}(reactants)\] \[=2\times {{\Delta }_{f}}H(C{{O}_{2}})-[2\times {{\Delta }_{f}}H(CO)+{{\Delta }_{f}}H({{O}_{2}})]\] \[=2\times (-94)-[2\times (-26.4)+0]\] \[=-188+52.8=-135.2\] Heat of combustion, \[{{\Delta }_{c}}H=\frac{{{\Delta }_{r}}H}{2}\] \[=\frac{-135.2}{2}=-67.6\,k-\text{cal/mol}\]
