NEET Chemistry Enthalpy MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11

If 2 moles of carbon disulfide (CS2) are formed from graphite and sulfur, what is the total enthalpy change for the reaction C(graphite, s) + 2 S(l) → CS2(l) given that the standard enthalpy change, ∆rH⁰, for the reaction is +128.5 kJ mol⁻¹?

A

257.0 kJ

B

128.5 kJ

C

64.25 kJ

D

0 kJ

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The standard enthalpy change, ∆rH⁰, for the formation of 1 mole of CS2 is +128.5 kJ. Therefore, for 2 moles, the enthalpy change is 2 × 128.5 kJ = 257.0 kJ.
