Given that,$C_{(s)} + O_{2(g)} \longrightarrow CO_{2(g)} ; \Delta H^{\circ} = -x \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ and $2CO_{(g)} + O_{2(g)} \longrightarrow 2CO_{2(g)} ; \Delta H^{\circ} = -y \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$. The enthalpy of formation of $CO$ will be:

  • A
    $\frac{y-2x}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{y-2x}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{2x-y}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{x-y}{2}$
