Solution

The correct option is A – 75.5 kJ
Basic ideas to keep in mind while solving this numerical are:
$q_{p} = Δ H, q_{v} = Δ U$

The equation representing the enthalpy of formation of methane is :
$C (s) + 2 H_{2} (g) \to C H_{4} (g); Δ H = - 78 k J Δ H = 78 k J; Δ n g = 1 - 2 = - 1 m o l R = 8.314 \times 10^{- 3} k J K^{- 1}; T = 300 K A c c o r d i n g t o t h e r e l a t i o n, Δ H = Δ U + Δ n g R T Δ U = Δ H - Δ n g R T = (- 78 k J) - (- 1 m o l) \times (8.314 \times 10^{3} K J k^{- 1} m o l^{- 1}) \times 300 K = - 78.0 + 2.49 = - 75.5 k J$
