Calculate $\Delta H$ in $kJ$ for the following reaction:
$C_{(s)} + O_{2(g)} \longrightarrow CO_{2(g)}$
Given that:
$H_2O_{(g)} + C_{(s)} \longrightarrow CO_{(g)} + H_{2(g)} ; \Delta H = +131 \ kJ$
$CO_{(g)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)} \longrightarrow CO_{2(g)} ; \Delta H = -282 \ kJ$
$H_{2(g)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)} \longrightarrow H_2O_{(g)} ; \Delta H = -242 \ kJ$

  • A
    $-393$
  • B
    $+393$
  • C
    $+655$
  • D
    $-655$
