The correct answer is: - 111.1 KJ mol -1

 

To find:Cs+12O2g  COg=0;    ΔHf=??        (I)

Given:

Cs+O2gCO2g;     ΔHf1=-393.3 kJ/mol       IICOs+12O2gCO2g ;   ΔHf2=-282.2 kJ/mol      III

Equation (I) can be founded by subtracting equation (III) from (II),

So,  ΔHf = ΔHf1 - ΔHf2ΔHf=-393.3 - -282.2ΔHf = -111.1 KJ/mol-1
