1.
The enthalpy change for the reaction
C(s, graphite) + 1⁄2O
2(g) --> CO(g)
cannot be measured directly since some carbon dioxide is always formed in the reaction.
It can be calculated using Hess’s Law and the enthalpy changes of combustion of graphite and of carbon monoxide.
C(s, graphite) + O2(g) --> CO2    ΔH=-394 kJmol–1
CO(g) + 1⁄2O2(g) --> CO2  
ΔH=-283 kJmol–1  
The enthalpy change for the reaction of graphite with oxygen to give carbon monoxide is 
a)
-677 kJmol–1 
b)
+111 kJmol–1 
c)
-111 kJmol–1 
d)
+677 kJmol–1 
2.
The enthalpy change for the reaction, ∆Hr , is equal to 
a)
∆H1 + ∆H2
b)
∆H1 - ∆H2
c)
-∆H1 - ∆H2
d)
-∆H1 + ∆H2
3.
The enthalpies of combustion of C(s), H2(g) and C4H9OH(l) (in kJmol-1) are as follows  
C(s) + O
2(g)   ->  CO2(g)  
                                             ∆H=a
H2(g) + ½O2(g)   ->   H2O(l)                                        ∆H=b
C4H9OH(l) + 6O2(g)   ->   4CO2(g) + 5H2O(l)  ∆H=c
What is the enthalpy change for the reaction shown below?
  4C(g) + 5H2(l) + ½O2(g)   ->   C4H9OH(l)
a)
c – 4a – 5b
b)
2a + 10b - c
c)
4a + 5b - c
d)
2a + 5b + c
4.

C(s) + 2H2(g) → CH4(g) 
a)
394 + (2 × 286) – 891 
b)
–394 – (2 × 286) + 891 
c)
394 + 286 – 891 
d)
–394 – 286 + 891 
5.
Given the following data: ΔH○f[FeO(s)] = –270kJmol–1
ΔH○f [Fe2O3(s)] = –820 kJ mol–1
S
elect the expression which gives the enthalpy change, in kJ mol–1, for the reaction:
2FeO(s) + 1⁄2O2(g) → Fe2O3(s) 
a)
(–820 × 1⁄2) + 270 = –140
b)
(+820 × 1⁄2) – 270 = +140
c)
–820 + (270 × 2) = –280 
d)
+820 – (270 × 2) = +280
