The standard enthalpies fo formation of ...

The standard enthalpies fo formation of `CO_(2) (g), H_(2) O (1)`, and glucose (s) at `25^(@)C` are `- 400 kJ mol^(-1), - 300 kJ mol^(-)`, and `- 1300 kJ mol^(-1)`, respectively. The standard enthalply of combustion per gram of glucose at `25^(@)C` is

A

`+2900` KJ

B

`-2900` KJ

C

`-16.11` KJ

D

`+16.11 `KJ

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)(g) rarr 6CO_(2)(g) + 6H_(2)O(l)`
`Delta_(c)H = 6 xx Delta_(f)H(CO_(2)) + 6 Delta_(f)H (H_(2)O) - Delta_(f)H(C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)) - 6Delta_(f)(O^(2),g)`
`=6 xx (-400-300) - (-1300)-0`
`=-4200 + 1300`
=-2900KJ/mol
For one gram of glucose, enthalphy of combustion `=-(2900)/(180) =-16.11 kJ//g`
