Question

Consider the following reactions:
(i)H+(aq)+OH(aq)H2O(l),ΔH=X1 kJ mol1
(ii)H2(g)+12O2(aq)H2O(l),ΔH=X2 kJ mol1
(iii)CO2(g)+H2(g)CO(g)+H2O(l),ΔH=X3 kJ mol1
(iv)C2H2(g)+52O2(g)2CO2(g)+H2O(l),ΔH=X4 kJ mol1

Solution

The correct option is D X2 kJ mol1
The amount of heat absorbed or released when 1 mole of a substance is directly obtained from its constituent elements is called the heat of formation or enthalpy of formation. Equation (i) represents neutralisation reaction, (iii) represents hydrogenation reaction and (iv) represents combustion reaction. Thus, enthalpy of formation of H2O(l) is X2 kJ mol1.
