If enthalpy of combustion of carbon to CO ₂( ~g ) is -394.0 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹ , the enthalpy change for the formation of 17.6 ~g of CO ₂ from carbon and dioxygen at the same temperature in kJ is
Options
- A-157.6
- B315.2
- C157.6
- D-315.2
Correct answer
A. -157.6
Step-by-step solution
Reaction for combusion is C + O ₂ CO ₂, H =-394 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹ Molar mass of CO ₂=12+(2 10) and =44 ~g 44 ~g of formation of CO ₂ gives heat =-394.0 ~kJ 17.6 ~g of formation of CO ₂ , gives heat = -394 17.6 44 =-157.6 ~kJ .
