The species which by definition has zero standard molar enthalpy of formation at \(298 \mathrm{~K}\) is

  1. A \(\mathrm{Br}_2(g)\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Cl}_2(g)\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(g)\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{CH}_4(g)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{Cl}_2(g)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta H_f^{\circ}\left(\mathrm{Cl}_2, g\right)=0\)
\(\Delta H_f^{\circ}\) of elements in their standard state is taken to be zero. \(\mathrm{Cl}_2\) is gas, \(\mathrm{Br}_2\) is liquid and \(\mathrm{I}_2\) is solid at room temperature.
