Answer:
ΔH0reaction = [ΔHf0 CO2(g)] - [ΔHf0 CO(g) + ΔHf0 O2(g)]
Explanation:
Chemical equation:
CO + O₂ → CO₂
Balanced chemical equation:
2CO + O₂ → 2CO₂
The standard enthalpy for the formation of CO = -110.5 kj/mol
The standard enthalpy for the formation of O₂ = 0 kj/mol
The standard enthalpy for the formation of CO₂ = -393.5 kj/mol
Now we will put the values in equation:
ΔH0reaction = [ΔHf0 CO2(g)] - [ΔHf0 CO(g) + ΔHf0 O2(g)]
ΔH0reaction = [-393.5 kj/mol] - [-110.5 kj/mol + 0]
ΔH0reaction = [-393.5 kj/mol] - [-110.5 kj/mol]
ΔH0reaction = -283 kj/mol
