Easy INTEGER +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2024

Two reactions are given below:

$$\begin{aligned} & 2 \mathrm{Fe}_{(\mathrm{s})}+\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{O}_{2(\mathrm{~g})} \rightarrow \mathrm{Fe}_2 \mathrm{O}_{3(\mathrm{~s})}, \Delta \mathrm{H}^{\circ}=-822 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol} \\ & \mathrm{C}_{(\mathrm{s})}+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{O}_{2(\mathrm{~g})} \rightarrow \mathrm{CO}_{(\mathrm{g})}, \Delta \mathrm{H}^{\circ}=-110 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol} \end{aligned}$$

Then enthalpy change for following reaction $$3 \mathrm{C}_{(\mathrm{s})}+\mathrm{Fe}_2 \mathrm{O}_{3(\mathrm{~s})} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Fe}_{(\mathrm{s})}+3 \mathrm{CO}_{(\mathrm{g})}$$ is _______ $\mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol}$.

Answer (integer) 492

Solution

<p>$$2 \mathrm{Fe}_{(\mathrm{s})}+\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{O}_{2(\mathrm{~g})} \rightarrow \mathrm{Fe}_2 \mathrm{O}_{3(\mathrm{~s})}, \Delta \mathrm{H}^{\circ}=-822 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}$$ ........
