CAPE Chemistry Unit 1 · 2008 · Paper 2 · Question 1(a)(ii)

This section covers fundamental chemistry concepts, including enthalpy changes and bonding. The first question focuses on enthalpy of formation and solution, and then explores lattice energies and experimental errors in thermochemistry.

The enthalpy of formation of both carbon monoxide and aluminium oxide cannot be determined directly by experimental means. Suggest ONE reason in EACH case for the above observation. CO: Al₂O₃:
