CHM 101 Thermochemistry Objective Question

Question

The equation for the standard enthalpy of formation of liquid CCl4 is: __________.
Options
A C(s) + 2Cl2(g) -> CCl4(l)
B C(s, graphite) + 2 Cl2(g) -> CCl4(l)
Correct Answer
C C(g) + 4Cl(g) -> CCl4(l)
D CH4(g) + 4Cl2(g) -> CCl4(l) + 4HCl(g)
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

It must show the formation of exactly 1 mole of CCl4(l) from its elements in their standard states: C(s, graphite) and Cl2(g).

Hint

Elements in their standard states, correct stoichiometry for 1 mol product.
