JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2006 - No. 4)

($$\Delta H - \Delta U$$) for the formation of carbon monoxide (CO) from its elements at 298 K is : (R = 8.314 J K–1 mol–1)
–1238.78 J mol–1
1238.78 J mol–1
–2477.57 J mol–1
2477.57 J mol–1

Explanation

For the reaction, $${C_{\left( s \right)}} + {1 \over 2}{O_{2\left( g \right)}} \to CO$$

$$\Delta H = \Delta U + \Delta nRT$$

or $$\,\,\,\,\,\Delta H - \Delta U = \Delta nRT$$

$$\Delta n = 1 - {1 \over 2} = {1 \over 2};\,\,$$

$$\Delta H - \Delta U = {1 \over 2} \times 8.314 \times 298$$

$$ = 1238.78\,Jmo{l^{ - 1}}$$
