Question
C(s) + $H_2O$(g) -> $H_2$(g) + $CO$(g). Given δ H_c (kcal/mol): $H_2$(g) = -68.0; $CO$(g) = -68.0; C(s) = -94.0. Select the correct option(s):
Answer: A,B,C
💡 Solution & Explanation
100 mol C. (a) 100 * 94 = 9400 kcal (correct). (b) 100 mol $H_2$ + 100 mol $CO$: 6800 + 6800 = 13,600 kcal (correct). (c) 1200 g equimolar $H_2$/$CO$ mixture: 30n = 1200, n = 40 mol each; heat = 40*68 + 40*68 = 5440 kcal (correct). (d) 13,600 ≠ 9400 (incorrect).
