Chapter 6, Problem 120P(choose chapter or problem)
From the enthalpy of formation for \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) and the following information, calculate the standard enthalpy of formation for carbon monoxide (CO).
\(\mathrm{CO}(g)+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \rightarrow \mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)\)
\(\Delta H^{\circ}=-283.0\ \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\)
Why can't we obtain it directly by measuring the enthalpy of the following reaction?
\(C(\text { graphite })+\frac{1}{2} O_{2}(g) \rightarrow C O(g)\)

ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
Here we have to calculate the standard enthalpy of formation for carbon monoxide (CO) from the given reaction,
The given reaction is,
Along with this we have to explain why it is not possible to obtain the standard heat of formation of CO directly by measuring the enthalpy of the following reaction,
