Question

Use Hess's law to calculate ΔG°rxn using the following information.

            CO(g) →  C(s) + 1/2 O2(g)         ΔG°rxn = ?

 

            CO2(g) → C(s) + O2(g)              ΔG°rxn = +394.4 kJ

            CO(g) + 1/2 O2(g) → CO2(g)    ΔG°rxn = -257.2 kJ

 

  1. A) -60.0 kJ
  2. B) +651.6 kJ
  3. C) -265.8 kJ
  4. D) +137.2 kJ
  5. E) +523.0 kJ
