Q.
On the basis of thermochemical equations $(a), (b)$ and $(c)$, find out which of the algebric relationships given in options (i) to (iv) is correct.
(1) $C$ (graphite) $+ O _{2}( g ) \longrightarrow CO _{2}( g ) ; \Delta rH = x \,kJ\, mol ^{-1}$
(2) $C$ (graphite) $+\frac{1}{2} O _{2}( g ) \longrightarrow CO ( g ) ; \Delta rH = y\, kJ\, mol ^{-1}$
(3) $CO ( g )+\frac{1}{2} O _{2}( g ) \longrightarrow CO _{2}( g )$
Solution:
