The enthalpy of reaction for the reaction : 2H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) → 2H 2 O(l) is ∆ r H ⊖ = – 572 kJ mol –1 . What will be standard enthalpy of formation of H 2 O(l)?
Options
- A∆ f H ⊖ (H 2 O(l)) = +286 kJ / mol
- B∆ f H ⊖ (H 2 O(l)) = -214 kJ / mol
- C∆ f H ⊖ (H 2 O(l)) = -365 kJ / mol
- D∆ f H ⊖ (H 2 O(l)) = -286 kJ / mol
Correct answer
D. ∆ f H ⊖ (H 2 O(l)) = -286 kJ / mol
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (D) ∆ f H ⊖ (H 2 O(l)) = -286 kJ / mol
