Class 11 Chemistry - Chapter Thermodynamics NCERT Solutions | The enthalpy of combustion of methane, g

Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 11th Chemistry - Chapter Thermodynamics. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Excercise 1 , Question 5: the enthalpy of combustion of methane graphite an....
Question 5

The enthalpy of combustion of methane, graphite and dihydrogen at 298 K are, –890.3 kJ mol–1  , –393.5 kJ mol–1, and –285.8 kJ mol–1 respectively. Enthalpy of formation of CH4(g) will be

(i) –74.8 kJ mol–1

(ii) –52.27 kJ mol–1

(iii) +74.8 kJ mol–1

(iv) +52.26 kJ mol–1

Answer

According to the question,

Thus, the desired equation is the one that represents the formation of CH4(g) i.e.,

[-393.5 + 2(-285.8) - (-890.3)] kJ Mol-1

= -74.8 kJ Mol-1

So,Enthalpy of formation of CH4(g) is -74.8 kJ Mol-1

That means answer is (i).
