NEET2003ChemistryThermodynamics (C)Actual
For which one of the following equations is H _ react ^ equal to H _f^ for the product?
Options
- AN _ 2(g) + O _ 3(g) N ₂ O ₃(g)
- BCH _ 4(g) +2 Cl _ 2( ~g ) CH ₂ Cl _ 2(l) +2 HCl _ (g)
- CXe _ (g) +2 ~F _ 2(g) XeF _ 4(g)
- D2 CO _ (g) + O _ 2(g) 2 CO _ 2(g)
Correct answer
C. Xe _ (g) +2 ~F _ 2(g) XeF _ 4(g)
Step-by-step solution
Enthalpies of formation of elementary substances Xe and ( F ₂ ) are taken as zero. For (c) ( H_ reaction ^ ) (= H_f^ ( XeF ₄ )- [ H_f^ ( Xe )+2 H_f^ ( F ₂ ) ] ) Thus, ( H ^ ) reaction (= H ^ _ f ( XeF ₄ ) )
