Solution

The correct option is B 2.494 kJ
H=U+nRT
Where H is a heat of formation at Constant Pressure
U is a heat of formation at constant volume
R is universal gas constant
n = number of moles of gas on product side - a number of moles of gas on reactant side.
Reaction : 12 N2 + 32 H2 NH3
So n = -1

So , H - U =n RT
Hence H - U= -1 × 8.314 × 300 =2494.2J or 2.494kJ

Option B is correct
