Solution
The correct option is D -57.8 The thermochemical reactions are as given below.
H2(g)+12O2(g)=H2O(l);ΔH298K=−68.32Kcal.
H2O(l)=H2O(v);ΔH298K=10.52Kcal.
Both reactions are added to obtain the reaction for the formation of water vapour which is H2(g)+12O2(g)=H2O(v).
Hence, the heat of formation of water vapour is −68.32+10.52=57.8Kcal
