CO(g) + H2 O(g) → CO2(g) + H2(g)
Calculate the standard heat change of the reaction above, if the standard enthalpies of formation of CO2(g), H2O(g) and CO(g) in kJmol1 are - 394, -242 and - 110 respectively.

A.

+ 262 KJ mol -1

B.

- 262 KJ mol -1

C.

+ 42 KJ mol -1

D.

- 42 KJ mol -1

Correct answer is D

ΔH(formation)(CO2)=394

ΔH(formation)(H2O)=242

ΔH(formation)(CO)=110

X=HFPHFR

= (-394+ 0) - (-110 - 242 )

= -394 +352

= - 42 kJmol1
