answer : option (b) (y - 2x)/2

Given that C + O₂ → CO₂ : ∆Hº = -x kJ.......(1)

2CO + O₂ → 2CO₂ : ∆Hº = -y kJ.......(2)

we have to find enthalpy of formation of CO.

i.e., C + (1/2)O₂ ⇒CO ; ∆H = enthalpy of formation.

reverse and multiple (1/2) with equation (2) we get,

CO₂ ⇒CO + (1/2)O₂ ; ∆H = -∆H°/2 = y/2 ........(3)

now adding equations (1) and (3) we get,

C + (1/2)O₂ ⇒CO ; ∆H' = ∆H + ∆H° = y/2 + (-x)

= (y - 2x)/2

hence option (b) is correct choice.
