    The standard enthalpies of formation of\[A(N{{H}_{3}}),B(C{{O}_{2}}),C(HI)\]and\[D(S{{O}_{2}})\]are respectively\[-46.19,-393.4,+24.94\] and\[-296.9\]\[kJmo{{l}^{-1}}\]. The increasing order of their stability is

    A) \[B<D<A<C\]   

    B)  \[C<A<D<B\]

    C) \[D<B<C<A\]   

    D) \[A<C<D<B\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Lower the value of standard enthalpy of formation, higher the stability. The increasing order of standard enthalpies of formation of given molecules is \[\underset{B(C{{O}_{2}})}{\mathop{393.4}}\,<\underset{D(S{{O}_{2}})}{\mathop{296.9}}\,<\underset{A(N{{H}_{3}})}{\mathop{-46.19}}\,<\underset{C(HI)}{\mathop{+24.94}}\,\] Thus, the increasing order of stability is \[C\text{ }<\text{ }A\text{ }<\text{ }D\text{ }<\text{ }B\]
