The standard enthalpy of formation $$\Delta _fH^o$$ at 298 K for methane, CH₄(g), is –74.8 kJ mol^–1. The additional information required to determine the average energy for C – H bond formation would be :

An ideal gas is allowed to expand both reversibly and irreversibly in an isolated system. If T_i is the initial temperature and T_f is the final temperature, which of the following statements is correct?

The enthalpy changes for the following processes are listed below :

Cl₂(g) = 2Cl(g), 242.3 kJ mol^–1
I₂(g) = 2I(g), 151.0 kJ mol^–1
ICl(g) = I(g) + Cl(g), 211.3 kJ mol^–1
I₂(s) = I₂(g), 62.76 kJ mol^–1

Given that the standard states for iodine and chlorine are I₂(s) and Cl₂(g), the standard enthalpy of formation for ICl(g) is :

($$\Delta H - \Delta U$$) for the formation of carbon monoxide (CO) from its elements at 298 K is : (R = 8.314 J K^–1 mol^–1)
