Why is the standard enthalpy of formation of C0(g), C(s) + ½ 02(g) → CO(g), difficult to measure experimentally? C(s) is an inert solid, so reactions with other compounds are difficult O CO(g) is a gas, so it's standard enthalpy of formation can't be measured using a calorimeter O CO2(g) is also produced when burning carbon in O2(g), so the enthalpy of CO(g) can't be isolate Lots of energy is required to burn C(s) in a calorimeter

Question

Please give clear handwritten ans

+ CO(g), difficult
Why is the standard enthalpy of formation of CO(g), C(s) + ½ 02(g)
to measure experimentally?
O C(s) is an inert solid, so reactions with other compounds are difficult
O CO(g) is a gas, so it's standard enthalpy of formation can't be measured using a calorimeter
O CO2(g) is also produced when burning carbon in O2(g), so the enthalpy of C(g) can't be isolated
O Lots of energy is required to burn C(s) in a calorimeter
