Three thermochemical equations are given below:
(i) C(graphite) + O2(g) \(\rightarrow\) CO2(g); \(\Delta_{r}\)H° = x kJ mol–1
(ii) Cgraphite + 1/2 O2(g) \(\rightarrow\) CO(g); \(\Delta_{r}\)H° = y kJ mol–1
(iii) CO(g) + 1/2 O2(g) \(\rightarrow\) CO2(g); \(\Delta_{r}\)H° = z kJ mol–1
Based on the above equations, find out which one of the relationships given below is correct :
1. z = x + y 2. x = y + z
3. y = 2z – x 4. x = y – z

For the following neutralization reaction:

MgO(s) + 2HCl(aq) → MgCl₂(aq) + H₂O(l)

How does the enthalpy change of the reaction compare with the standard enthalpy of neutralization
of a strong acid and a strong base (−57.33 kJ mol⁻¹)?

1. Equal to 57.33 kJ mol⁻¹

2. Equal to −57.33 kJ mol⁻¹

3. Greater than 57.33 kJ mol⁻¹

4. Less than 57.33 kJ mol⁻¹
