The compound carbon suboxide, C3O2, is a gas at room temperature. Use the data supplied to calculate the heat of formation of carbon suboxide. (Data: 2CO(g) + C(s) → C3O2(g) ΔH° = 127.3 kJ/mol and: ΔHf° of CO(g) = –110.5 kJ/mol)

The standard enthalpy of formation of is -92.7 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles.

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

For the given chemical reaction:

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

We are given:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the standard enthalpy of formation of is -92.7 kJ/mol

the density(ratio between mass and volume as m/v) decreases from top to bottom in periodic table group as the size increases and nuclear charge decreases. but in periods density increases from left to right as atom size decreases and nuclear charge increases.
