    In which of the following reactions, the heat liberated is known as "heat of combustion"?

    A)  \[{{H}^{+}}(aq)+O{{H}^{-}}(aq)\to {{H}_{2}}O(l)+heat\]

    B)  \[C\text{(graphite)}+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}(g)\to CO(g)+\text{heat}\]

    C)  \[C{{H}_{4}}(g)+2{{O}_{2}}(g)\to C{{O}_{2}}(g)+2{{H}_{2}}O(l)+\,heat\]

    D)  \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}(aq)+{{H}_{2}}O(l)\to {{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}(aq)+heat\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     The amount of heat evolved or absorbed when 1 mole of the substance is completely oxidised is called heat of combustion. For example, \[C{{H}_{4}}(g)+2{{O}_{2}}(g)\to C{{O}_{2}}(g)+2{{H}_{2}}O(l)+\text{heat}\]
