Enthalpy for the oxidation of graphite t...

Enthalpy for the oxidation of graphite to `CO_2` and CO to `CO_2` can easily be measured. For these conversions, the heat of combustion values are -393.5 kJ and - 283.5 kJ respectively.find the enthalpy of combustion of graphite to CO

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

From these data the enthalpy of combustion of graphite to CO can be calculated Hess.s law.
The reactions involved in this process can be expressed as follows

According to Hess law ,
`DeltaH_1=DeltaH_2+DeltaH_3`
-393.5 kJ =X- 283.5 kJ
X=-110.5 kJ
