Options
- ABr ₂(g)
- BCl ₂(g)
- CH ₂ O (g)
- DCH ₄(g)
Correct answer
B. Cl ₂(g)
Step-by-step solution
H_f^ ( Cl ₂, g )=0 H_f^ of elements in their standard state is taken to be zero. Cl ₂ is gas, Br ₂ is liquid and I ₂ is solid at room temperature. Energetics Conceptual, implication of rules/laws III
