NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11

Calculate the enthalpy change (ΔH) for the reaction: C(graphite, s) + 1/2 O2(g) + 1/2 O2(g) → CO2(g), given that the enthalpy change for the reaction C(graphite, s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) is -393.5 kJ/mol.

A

-393.5 kJ/mol

B

-196.75 kJ/mol

C

-787.0 kJ/mol

D

0 kJ/mol

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The enthalpy change for the reaction involving C(graphite, s) and O2(g) to form CO2(g) is given directly as -393.5 kJ/mol. The stoichiometry of the reaction does not change the enthalpy value provided.
