    For the thermochemical equation, \[2{{H}_{2(g)}}+{{O}_{2(g)}}\to 2{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{(l)}};\,\Delta H=-571.6kJ\] Heat of decomposition of water is

    A)  \[-571.6\text{ }kJ\]

    B)  \[+571.6\text{ }kJ\]

    C)  \[-1143.2\text{ }kJ\]

    D)  \[+285.8kJ\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    :\[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{(l)}}\to {{H}_{2(g)}}+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2(g)}};\,\,\Delta H=\frac{571.6}{2}=285.8kJ\] Since, the forward reaction is exothermic, backward has to be endothermic.
