Answer : The correct option is, the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

Explanation :

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

For example :

The formation reaction of CO will be,

C(graphite)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow CO(g)    \Delta H_{formation}

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

(1) C(graphite)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)    \Delta H_1

(2) CO+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)    \Delta H_2

The expression for enthalpy of formation of CO is,

\Delta H_{formation}=[n\times \Delta H_1]+[n\times \Delta H_2]

where,

n = number of moles

By adding reaction 1 and reverse reaction of reaction 2, we get the enthalpy of formation of CO.

Hence, the correct option is, the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

Describe the benefits and the drawback of natural gas.
Finger [1]

When looking to power your equipment or vehicle with natural gas, the first question that springs to mind is: what is natural gas? A lot of people use natural gas in their homes for cooking and heating, but they don’t really give it some thought. So, let’s see what natural gas is and how it’s different from other forms of fossil fuels like oil and coal.

Natural Gas is a fossil fuel that exist in a gaseous state and is composed mainly of methane (CH4) a small percentage of other hydrocarbons (e.g. ethane). The use of natural gas is becoming more and more popular as it can be used with commercial, industrial, electric power generation and residential applications.
