Question

Consider the following reactions:

(a) $H^{+} (a q) + O H^{-} (a q) \to H_{2} O (l) Δ H = - x_{1} k J m o l^{- 1}$

(b) $H_{2} (g) + \frac{1}{2} O_{2} (g) \to H_{2} O (l) Δ H = - x_{2} k J m o l^{- 1}$

(c) $C O_{2} (g) + H_{2 (g)} \to C O_{(g)^{'}} + H_{2} O (l) Δ H = - x_{3} k J m o l^{- 1}$

(d) $C_{2} H_{2} (g) + \frac{5}{2} O_{2} (g) \to 2 C O_{2} (g) + H_{2} O (l) Δ H = x_{4} k J m o l^{- 1}$

Solution

The correct option is B
$- x_{2} k J . m o l^{- 1}$

This question, or rather the answer to this question, is based on the very definition of the enthalpy (or heat) of formation:

It is the amount of heat evolved or absorbed during the formation of 1 mole of a compound from its constituent elements (standard state).

$H_{2} (g) + \frac{1}{2} O_{2} (g) ⟶ H_{2} O (l)$

Hence the heat of formation of $H_{2} O (l) = - x_{2} k J . m o l^{- 1}$ .
