Solution

The correct option is C $- 315 k J$
Formation of $C O_{2}$ from carbon and dioxygen gas can be represented as

$C (s) + O_{2 (g)} ⟶ C O_{2 (g)}; Δ_{f} H = - 393.5 k J {mol}^{- 1}$

$(1 m o l = 44 g)$

$Heat released on formation of 44 g C O_{2} = - 393.5 k J {mol}^{- 1}$
$Heat released on formation of 35.2 g C O_{2} = \frac{- 393.5 k J {mol}^{- 1}}{44 g} \times 35.2 g = - 315 k J$
