When 6 0 ~g of graphite reacts with dihydrogen to give methane gas, 37 4 ~kJ of heat is liberated. What is standard enthalpy of formation of CH _ 4_ (g) ?
Options
- A112 2 ~kJ ~mol 1
- B-74 8 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹
- C-37 4 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹
- D-112 2 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹
Correct answer
B. -74 8 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹
Step-by-step solution
(A) C _ (8) +2 H _ 2(8) CH _ 4( ~g ) For 6.0 ~g of graphite, H =-37.4 ~kJ For 12.0 ~g of graphite, H ⁰= -37.4 12 6 =-74.8 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹
