The heat of formation of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g})\) is likely to be

  1. A \(-286 \mathrm{~kJ}\)
  2. B \(+286 \mathrm{~kJ}\)
  3. C \(-34 \mathrm{l} \mathrm{kJ}\)
  4. D \(-242.8 \mathrm{~kJ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(-242.8 \mathrm{~kJ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The heat of formation of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g})\) will be less than the heat of formation of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)\), as heat of condensation is not included in formation of \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) in gases state i.e.…
