This set of Basic Chemical Engineering Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Standard Heat (Enthalpy) of Formation”.
1. For exothermic reactions, what is the heat of reaction?
a) Positive
b) Negative
c) Zero
d) Cannot Say
View answer
Explanation: In exothermic reactions, heat leaves the system, so the heat of reaction is negative.
2. For endothermic reactions, what is the heat of reaction?
a) Positive
b) Negative
c) Zero
d) Cannot Say
View answer
Explanation: In endothermic reactions, heat comes into the system, so the heat of reaction is positive.

a) 9 J
b) 10 J
c) 13 J
d) 15 J
View answer
Explanation: Heat of reaction = 2*15 + 3*2 – 8 – 3*5 = 13 J.
8. Heat of formations of A, B, C, and D, are 1 J, 2 J, 3 J, and 4 J respectively, what is the heat of reaction 3A + 4B -> 2C + D?
a) -1 J
b) 1 J
c) 3 J
d) 6 J
View answer
Explanation: Heat of reaction = 4 + 2*3 – 4*2 – 3*1 = -1 J.
9. Heat of formations of A, B, C, and D, are 2 J, 5 J, 3 J, and 10 J respectively, what is the heat of reaction 4A + 5B -> 2C + 2D?
a) -10 J
b) -7 J
c) -5 J
d) 0
View answer
Explanation: Heat of reaction = 2*10 + 2*3 – 5*5 – 4*2 = -7 J.
10. Heat of formations of A, B, C, and D, are 3 J, 5 J, 4 J, and 8 J respectively, what is the heat of reaction 2A + 2B -> 2C + D?
a) -5 J
b) 0
c) 5 J
d) 8 J
View answer
Explanation: Heat of reaction = 8 + 2*4 – 2*5 – 2*3 = 0.
