    Heat of combustion \[\Delta H{}^\circ \] for\[C(s)\], \[{{H}_{2}}(g)\] and \[C{{H}_{4}}(g)\]are \[-94,\,\,-68\] and\[-213\,\,kcal/mol\]. Then\[\Delta H{}^\circ \]for\[C(s)+2{{H}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}C{{H}_{4}}(g)\]is

    A) \[-17kcal\]                          

    B) \[-111kcal\]

    C) \[-170kcal\]                       

    D) \[-85kcal\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    For reaction,      \[C(s)+2{{H}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}C{{H}_{4}}(g),\,\,\Delta H{}^\circ =?\] \[\Delta H{}^\circ =-\][(\[\Delta H{}^\circ \]of combustion of\[C{{H}_{4}}\])\[-\](\[\Delta H{}^\circ \]of combustion of\[C+2\times \Delta H\]of combustion of\[{{H}_{2}}\])]                 \[C+{{O}_{2}}\to 2{{H}_{2}}O;\,\,\Delta H=-94kcal\]         ... (i) \[2{{H}_{2}}+{{O}_{2}}\to 2{{H}_{2}}O;\,\,\Delta H=-68\times 2kcal\]      ... (ii) \[C{{H}_{4}}+2{{O}_{2}}\to C{{O}_{2}}+2{{H}_{2}}O;\,\,\Delta H=-213kcal\]... (iii) \[\Delta H{}^\circ =[(-213)-(-94+2\times -68)]kcal/mol\] \[=-[-213+230]=-17kcal/mol\]
