JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 5. Thermodynamics and thermochemistry

Enthalpies of formation of \(CCl _{4( g )}, H _2 O_{( g )}, CO _{2( g )}\) and \(HCl_{ ( g )}\) are \(-105,-242,-394\) and \(-92\,kJ\,mol ^{-1}\) respectively. The magnitude of enthalpy of the reaction given below is \(......kJ\,mol ^{-1}\) (nearest integer) \(CCl _{4( g )}+2 H _2 O_{( g )} \rightarrow CO _{2( g )}+4 HCl_{( g )}\)

  1. A \(172\)
  2. B \(174\)
  3. C \(173\)
  4. D \(176\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(173\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta_{ r } H =\sum H _{ p }-\sum H _{ R }\) \(=(-394+4 \times-92)-(-105+(2 \times-242))\) \(=-173\,kJ / mol\)
