Answer:
A) Ca(s) + C(s) + 3/2 O₂(g) → CaCO₃(s)
Explanation:
Standard enthalpy of formation of a chemical is defined as the change in enthalpy durin the formation of 1 mole of the substance from its constituent elements in their standard states.
The consituent elements of calcium carbonate, CaCO₃, in their standard states (States you will find this pure elements in nature), are:
Ca(s), C(s) and O₂(g)
That means, the equation that represents standard enthalpy of CaCO₃ is:
<h3>A) Ca(s) + C(s) + 3/2 O₂(g) → CaCO₃(s)</h3><h3 />
<em>Is the equation that has ΔH° = -1207kJ/mol</em>
