Question

Which substance has Hf defined as 0 kJ/mol? H2O (s) Ne (l) O2 (g) CO2 (g)

Answer 1

O2 (g)

Step-by-step explanation:

Took the test

Answer 2

O₂ (g).

Step-by-step explanation:

• All elements that found in nature has heat of formation (Hf) equal 0 J/mol.

• So, the substance that has heat of formation (Hf) equal 0 J/mol is O₂ (g).

• H₂O is formed from the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen and has Hf, Also, the solidification of H₂O (s) from H₂O (l) has (Hf).

• Although, Ne (g) is found in nature and has no Hf, the liquification to form Ne (l) has heat of formation (Hf).

• CO₂ (g) is formed from the reaction between carbon and oxygen and so has heat of formation (Hf).
