Solution

The correct option is C 51.4 kJ
(I) C(graphite)+O2(g)CO2(g) ---- 1

(II) H2(g)+12O2(g)H2O(l) ----- 2

(III) C2H4(g)+3O2(g)2CO2(g)+2H2O(l) ---- 3

Desired reaction:
2C(grapite)+2H2(g)C2H4(g)

The desired above reaction can be obtained by multiplying eqn. 1 and 2 by 2 and adding them followed by subtracting eqn. 3 from the sum.

Enthalpy of formation can be calculated as:

ΔHf=(2×Reaction I+2×Reaction IIReaction III)

ΔHf=(2×393.52×286.2+1410.8)=51.4 kJ
