Solution

The correct option is C +7.43
C2H6(l)+5O2(g)2CO2(g)+6H2O(g)

For the above reaction,
Δng=nPnR=(6+2)5=3

Now as we know that
ΔH=ΔU+ΔngRT
ΔHΔU=ΔngRT

Here, ΔH and ΔU are the heats of reaction at constant pressure and volume respectively.

Given that:- T=25=(25+273)K=298K
ΔHΔU=3×8.314×298=7432.71J=7.43kJ

Hence the difference between heats of reaction at constant pressure and at constant volume for the given reaction is +7.43kJ.
