Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 0.0 J

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}(l)+2 \mathrm{O}_2(g) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{CO}_2(g)+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(l) \\ & \Delta n_g=2-2=0 \\ & W=-\Delta n_g R T \\ & =-0 \times R T=0.0 \mathrm{~J}\end{aligned}\)
