NEET Chemistry Hess's Law MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

On the basis of thermochemical equations (1), (2) and (3), find out which of the relationships given in options (a) to (d) is correct

  1. C(graphite) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g); ΔH = x kJmol⁻¹
  2. C(graphite) + 1/2 Ω₂(g) → CO(g); ΔH = y kJmol⁻¹
  3. CO(g) + 1/2 Ω₂(g) → CO₂(g); ΔH = z kJmol⁻¹
A

z = x + y

B

x = y − z

C

x = y + z

D

y = 2z − x

Correct Answer

Option 3

Detailed Explanation

According to Hess's law, the enthalpy change for the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes for the individual steps: x = y + z.
