Q5 / 90 · JEE Main 2024 (30 Jan Shift 2) · Chemistry

Two reactions are given below:
2Fe(s)+32O2( g)→Fe2O3( s),ΔHo=-822 kJ/mol

C(s)+12O2( g)→CO(g),ΔHo=-110 kJ/mol

Then enthalpy change for following reaction
3C(s)+Fe2O3( s)→2Fe(s)+3CO(g)

Correct answer: 492

Solution

Enthalpy change is the standard enthalpy of formation, in any general chemical reaction, the reactants undergo chemical changes and combine to give products. It can be represented by the following equation:

Reactant→Product

From the given equations,

2Fe(s)+32O2( g)→Fe2O3( s),ΔHo=-822 kJ/mol .........(i)

C(s)+12O2( g)→CO(g),ΔH°=-110 kJ/mol....(ii)

3C(s)+Fe2O3( s)→2Fe(s)+3CO(g),ΔH3=?

The value of ΔH3 can be calculated as,

ΔH3=3×ΔH2-ΔH1

=3(-110)+822

=492 kJ/mole

Hence, the correct answer is 492.
