NEET 2013 Chemistry Hess's Law MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
Three thermochemical equations are given below: i. C(graphite) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g); ΔH = x kJ mol⁻¹ ii. C(graphite) + 1/2 Ω₂(g) → CO(g); ΔH = y kJ mol⁻¹ iii. CO(g) + 1/2 Ω₂(g) → CO₂(g); ΔH = z kJ mol⁻¹ Based on the above equations, find out which of the relationship given below is correct:
A
z = x + y
B
x = y - z
C
y = 2z - x
D
x = y - z
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Using Hess's law, the enthalpy change for the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes for the individual steps.
