Answer #1

Combustion of C to CO2 is                      C(s) + O2(g) ----------------- CO2(g)          \Delta H = - 393.5 KJ --------- (1)

combustion of CO to CO2 is                    CO(g) + 1/2O2(g) ---------------- CO2(g)    \Delta H = - 283.0 KJ -------- (2)

The required equation is   C(s) + 1/2O2(g) --------------- CO(g)         \Delta H = ?

(1) --------------                        C(s) + O2(g) ----------------- CO2(g)          \Delta H = - 393.5 KJ

(2) --------------          CO(g) + 1/2O2(g) ---------------- CO2(g)    \Delta H = - 283.0 KJ

                      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

substraction from (1) to (2)      C(s) - CO(g) + 1/2O2(g) ------------------                  \Delta H = - 110.5 KJ  

                                               C(s) + 1/2O2(g) ---------------------- CO(g)           \Delta H = - 110.5 KJ

                                           

.Therefore, the enthalpy of combustion of C to CO is       C(s) + 1/2O2(g) ---------------------- CO(g)    \Delta H = - 110.5 KJ
