    Which of the reactions defines\[\Delta H_{f}^{o}\]

    A) \[{{C}_{\text{diamond}}}+{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}C{{O}_{2}}(g)\]

    B)  \[\frac{1}{2}{{H}_{2}}(g)+\frac{1}{2}{{F}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}HF(g)\]

    C)  \[{{N}_{2}}(l)+3{{H}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}2N{{H}_{3}}(g)\]

    D)  \[CO(g)+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}C{{O}_{2}}(g)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[\Delta H_{f}^{o}\]standard heat of formation, is the  amount of heat evolved or absorbed when one gram mole of substance is formed from its constituent elements. For standard state, temperature is \[\text{25}{{\,}^{\text{o}}}\text{C}\]or \[\text{298}\,\text{K}\]and pressure of gaseous substance is 1 atm.  Therefore, in given thermochemical equation, formation of HF represents the standard heat of formation of HF.
