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

    A) \[110.5\,kJ\]

    B)  \[676.5\,kJ\]

    C)  \[-676.5\,kJ\]

    D)  \[-110.5\,kJ\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     (i) \[C(s)+{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}C{{O}_{2}}(g);\] \[\Delta \Eta =-393.5\,kJ\] (ii) \[CO(g)+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}C{{O}_{2}}(g);\] \[\Delta H=-283.0\,kJ\] (i) and (ii) gives (iii) \[C(s)+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}CO(g);\] \[\Delta H=-110.5\,kJ\] Equation III also represents the enthalpy of formation of 1 mole of CO and thus, enthalpy change is the heat of formation of \[CO(g).\]
