The heat of formation of C2H5OH(l) is −66kcalmol−1. The heat of combustion of CH3OCH3(g) is −348kcalmol−1. △Hf for H2O and CO2 are −68kcalmol−1 and −94kcalmol−1 respectively.
Then, the △H for reaction C2H5OH(l)→CH3OCH3(g) is :

Solution
The correct option is B△H=22kcalmol−1 △HofC2H5OH(l)=−66kcal/mol 2C(s)+12O2(g)+3H2(g)→C2H5OH(l) △H1=−66kcalmol−1 ....(1)
This reaction can be obtained by the combination,
Target equation = - eq.(1) - eq.(2) + 3 [eq.(3)] + 2 [eq.(4)]
So, △H for the above isomerisation reaction can be obtained by ;
