Solution

The correct option is A 582 kJ
Solution:-
C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g)ΔH=394KJ/mol
2×[C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g)ΔH=394KJ/mol]
2C(s)+2O2(g)2CO2(g)ΔH=788KJ/mol.....(1)
2H2(g)+O2(g)2H2O(l)ΔH=568KJ/mol
32×[2H2(g)+O2(g)2H2O(l)ΔH=852KJ/mol]
3H2(g)+32O2(g)3H2O(l)ΔH=568KJ/mol.....(2)
C2H5OH(l)+3O2(g)2CO2(g)+3H2O(l)ΔH=1058KJ/mol
2CO2(g)+3H2O(l)C2H5OH(l)+3O2(g)ΔH=1058KJ/mol.....(3)
Adding eqn(1),(2)&(3), we have
2C(s)+2O2(g)+3H2(g)+32O2(g)+2CO2(g)+3H2O(l)2CO2(g)+3H2O(l)+C2H5OH(l)+3O2(g)
2C(s)+3H2(g)+12O2(g)C2H5OH(l)ΔH=582KJ/mol
Hence the heat of formation of ethanol is 582KJ/mol.
