Solution

The correct option is D 226.7
Given, C+O2(g)CO2(g);ΔH1=394KJ(1)
H2+12O2(g)H2O(l);ΔH2=285.8KJ(2)
C2H2(g)+5O2(g)HCO2(g)HCO2(g)+2H2O(l);ΔHo=2601KJ(3)
To find out, Heat of formation of C2H2(g) i.e. 2C+H2C2H2(g)
Equation (1)×2+ Equation (2)
2C+2O2(g)+H2+12O2(g)2CO2+H2O ΔH3=1073.8KJ(4)
Reversing Equation (3)
HCO2(g)+2H2O(l)C2H2(g)+5O2(g) ΔHo=2601KJ(5)
Equation (4)+Equation (5/2)
2C(s)+H2(g)C2H4(g) ΔHof=226.7KJ
