JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 5. Thermodynamics and thermochemistry

At \(25^{\circ} C\) and 1 atm pressure, the enthalpies of combustion are as given below:
Substance \(H _{2}\) \(C (\) graphite \()\) \(C _{2} H _{6}( g )\)
\(\frac{\Delta_{ C } H ^{\Theta}}{ kJmol ^{-1}}\) \(-286.0\) \(-394.0\) \(-1560.0\)
The enthalpy of formation of ethane is ........ .

  1. A \(+54.0\, kJ \,mol ^{-1}\)
  2. B \(-68.0 \,kJ \,mol ^{-1}\)
  3. C \(-86.0\, kJ \,mol ^{-1}\)
  4. D \(+97.0\, kJ \,mol ^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(-86.0\, kJ \,mol ^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(C _{2} H _{6}( g )+\frac{7}{2} O _{2}( g ) \rightarrow 2 CO _{2}( g )+3 H _{2} O (\ell)\) \(\Delta_{ C } H \left( C _{2} H _{6}\right)=2 \Delta_{ f } H CO _{2}( g )+3 \Delta_{ f } H \left( H _{2} O , \ell\right)\) \(-\Delta_{ f } H ^{\prime}\left( C _{2} H _{6}, g \right)\)…
