ΔHf of which of the following cannot be measured directly?

Correct answer: D. All of these options are correct

  • A. Al2O3
  • B. B2O3
  • C. CCL4
  • D. All of these options are correct

Explanation

Frankly speaking, We don't know the absolute enthalpy of a substance because we don't know where absolute Zero is. We can only deal with this calculation under relative terms so, we can only measure enthalpy differences between initial and final states.
