The first question requires you to know the definition of formation enthalpy. If you don't know it, look it up.

The second question contains a typo: Fe(s) + O2(g) FeO(s) is not balanced

Enthalpy of formation is the enthalpy change when 1 mole of a substance is formed from its constituent elements but I’m not sure how that applies to the question

Also for the second one it’s :
Fe(s) + 1/2O2 (g) -> FeO(s)

So, using the definition of formation enthalpy, you can now write down the equation that represents the formation of lithium fluoride.
However, there is also a typo in both the question and the answer ...
Two reactions of iron with oxygen are shown.
(Total 1 mark)
Fe(s) + 1/2 O2(g) FeO(s) ΔH = 272 kJ mol–1
2 Fe(s) + 3/2 O2(g) Fe2O3(s) ΔH = 822 kJ mol–1
What is the enthalpy change, in kJ mol–1, for this reaction?
2 FeO(s) + 1/2 O2(g) Fe2O3(s)
A +550 B –278 C –1094 D –1372
that is the actual question without typos, can someone explain why the answer is B

In order to generate the required equation, you must take equation 1:
Fe(s) + 1/2 O2(g) FeO(s)
reverse it and multiply by 2 to give:
2FeO(s) 2Fe(s) + O2(g) ΔH = +544 kJ mol–1

Then add this equation to equation 2:
2FeO(s) 2Fe(s) + O2(g) ΔH = +544 kJ mol–1
2 Fe(s) + 3/2 O2(g) Fe2O3(s) ΔH = 822 kJ mol–1
---------------------------------------------- add
2FeO(s) + 1/2 O2(g) Fe2O3(s) ΔH = +544 - 822 = -278 kJ

thankyouuu :smile:

i dont get why i didnt understand at first im so cooked. Anyways I appreciate it too
