From the following data of heats of combustion, find the heat of formation of CH3OH(l):
CH3OH(l)+32O2(g)CO2(g)+2H2O(l);ΔH=726kJ
C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g);ΔH=394kJ
H2(g)+12O2(g)H2O(l);ΔH=286kJ

Solution

The correct option is B 240 kJ mol1
Heat of formation of CH3OH = 2× heat of combustion of H2O + heat of combustion of CO2 - heat of combustion of CH3OH
Heat of formation of CH3OH = 2(286)(394)(726)=240KJmol1
