    The standard enthalpies of formation of A \[A(N{{H}_{3}}),B(C{{O}_{2}}),C(HI)\]are respectively \[-\,46,19,-\text{ }393.4,+\,24,94\] and\[-296.9\,\text{kJmo}{{\text{l}}^{-1}},\]The increasing order of their stability is

    A)  B < D < A < C

    B)  C < A < D < B

    C)  D < B < C < A

    D)  A < C < D < B

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Lower the value of standard enthalpy of formation, higher the stability. The increasing order of standard enthalpies of formation of given molecules is \[\underset{B(C{{O}_{2}})}{\mathop{-393.4}}\,<\underset{D(S{{O}_{2}})}{\mathop{296.9}}\,<\underset{A(N{{H}_{3}})}{\mathop{-46.19}}\,<+\,\underset{C(HI)}{\mathop{24.94}}\,\] Thus, the increasing order of stability is \[C<A<D<B\]
