The correct option is C The enthalpy of the product CO2 is less than that of the reactants, O2 and C
The heat of formation for CO2 is given as ΔH=− 94.2 kcal / mole. The negative value of ΔH indicates that the enthalpy of the product CO2 is less than that of the reactants, O2 and C. The reaction is exothermic. Heat is given out during the reaction. The products have lower energy than reactants.
