Question
Which of the following would have a standard heat of formation ΔH°f, be zero at 25°C? Group of answer choicesC3CC4C2
Solution
The standard heat of formation (ΔH°f) is zero for elements in their standard states. The standard state of an element is its most stable physical state (solid, liquid, or gas) at 1 atm and 25°C.
Looking at the options given: C3, C4, and C2, these are all allotropes of carbon.
C3 and C4 are not standard states of carbon. The most stable form of carbon under standard conditions is graphite, which is a form of C (not C2, C3, or C4).
Therefore, none of the options given (C3, C4, C2) would have a standard heat of formation ΔH°f of zero at 25°C. The correct answer would be C (graphite).

Which reaction below would represent the standard enthalpy of formation for CHCl3 at 25°C? Hint: The reaction must be balanced. Fractional coefficients are ok in heats of formation. All reactants must be elements in their standard state (solid, liquid, or gas) at 25°C. Remember that certain elements exist as diatomics (O2, N2, F2, H2, I2, Cl2, Br2).Group of answer choicesCHCl3(l) → C(s) + H(g) + 3 Cl(g)C(s) + H(g) + 3 Cl(g) → CHCl3(l)C(s) + 1/2 H2(g) + 3/2 Cl2(g) → CHCl3(l)2 C(s) + H2(g) + 3 Cl2(g) → 2 CHCl3(l)
