Solution

The correct option is C $227 k J$
Solution:- (D) $227 k J$
Given:-
$C + O_{2} ⟶ C O_{2} Δ H = - 394 k J$
$2 \times [C + O_{2} ⟶ C O_{2} Δ H = - 394 k J]$
$2 C + 2 O_{2} ⟶ 2 C O_{2} Δ H = - 788 . . . . . (1)$
$H_{2} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2} ⟶ H_{2} O Δ H = - 286 k J . . . . . (2)$
$C_{2} H_{2} + \frac{5}{2} O_{2} ⟶ 2 C O_{2} + H_{2} O Δ H = - 1301 k J$
$2 C O_{2} + H_{2} O ⟶ C_{2} H_{2} + \frac{5}{2} O_{2} Δ H = 1301 k J . . . . . (3)$
Adding ${e q}^{n} (1), (2) & (3)$ , we have
$2 C + H_{2} ⟶ C_{2} H_{2} Δ H = 227 k J$
Hence the heat of formation of $C_{2} H_{2}$ is $227 k J$ .
