Solution

The correct option is B 727KJmol(1)
Enthalpy change for reaction (ΔH) is given by the expression
ΔH=ΔU+ΔngRT
where,
ΔH=Change in internal energy
Δng=Change in number of moles
For the given reaction,
Δng=ng(product)ng(reactants)
=132
Δng=0.5 moles
ΔU=726 kJ
T+298 K
R=8.314×103 kJ/Kmol
Substituting the values
ΔH=(726)+(0.5×298×8.314×103)
ΔH=7261.23
ΔH=727 kJ/mol
