The enthalpy change for the reaction
C(s, graphite) + 1⁄2O₂(g) --> CO(g) cannot be measured directly since some carbon dioxide is always formed in the reaction.
It can be calculated using Hess’s Law and the enthalpy changes of combustion of graphite and of carbon monoxide.
C(s, graphite) + O₂(g) --> CO₂    ΔH=-394 kJmol^–1
CO(g) + 1⁄2O₂(g) --> CO₂  ΔH=-283 kJmol^–1  
The enthalpy change for the reaction of graphite with oxygen to give carbon monoxide is 

• -677 kJmol^–1 
• +111 kJmol^–1 
• -111 kJmol^–1 
• +677 kJmol^–1

Given the following data: ΔH^○_f[FeO(s)] = –270kJmol^–1
ΔH^○_f [Fe₂O₃(s)] = –820 kJ mol^–1
Select the expression which gives the enthalpy change, in kJ mol^–1, for the reaction:
2FeO(s) + 1⁄2O₂(g) → Fe₂O₃(s) 

• (–820 × 1⁄2) + 270 = –140
• (+820 × 1⁄2) – 270 = +140
• –820 + (270 × 2) = –280 
• +820 – (270 × 2) = +280
