    What will be the enthalpy of combustion of ethylene (gas) to form \[C{{O}_{2}}\] (gas) and water at \[298\text{ }K\]and 1 atm pressure? The enthalpies of formation of \[C{{O}_{2}}\], \[{{H}_{2}}O\] and \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}\] are \[-393.5,\] \[-241.8,\] \[+52.3\text{ }kJ/mol\] respectively.

    A)  \[-1332.9\,kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    B)  \[-1322.9\,kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    C)  \[+1332.9kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    D)  \[+1322.9kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}(g)+3{{O}_{2}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}2C{{O}_{2}}(g)+2{{H}_{2}}O(g)\] Given, \[{{\Delta }_{f}}H_{(C{{O}_{2}})}^{o}=-393.5\,kJ\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\] \[{{\Delta }_{f}}H_{({{H}_{2}}O)}^{o}=-241.8\,kJ\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\] \[{{\Delta }_{f}}H_{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}})}^{o}=+52.3\,kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\] \[{{\Delta }_{r}}{{H}^{o}}\]= [sum of \[{{\Delta }_{f}}{{H}^{o}}\] values of products] -[sum of \[{{\Delta }_{f}}{{H}^{o}}\] values of reactants]                 \[=[2\times {{\Delta }_{f}}H_{(C{{O}_{2}})}^{o}+2\times {{\Delta }_{f}}H_{({{H}_{2}}O)}^{o}]\]                                                 \[-[\Delta {{ & }_{f}}H_{({{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}})}^{o}+3\times \Delta {{ & }_{f}}H_{({{O}_{2}})}^{o}]\]                 \[=[2\times (-393.5)+2\times (-241.8)]-[(52.3)+0]\] (\[\because \] \[{{\Delta }_{f}}{{H}^{o}}\] for elementary substance \[=0\])                 \[=[-787.0-486.6]-52.3\]                 \[=-1322.9kJ\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\]
