Solution
The correct option is B 35973 The combustion reaction for methane is CH4(g)+2O2(g)→CO2(g)+2H2O(g);△H=?△H∘=△H∘f(products)−△H∘f(rectants)=△H∘f(CO2)+2×△H∘f(H2O)−△H∘f(CH4)−2△H∘f(O2)=−398.8−2×241.6−(−76.2)−2×0=−805.8kJmol−1
Heat evolved by burning 22.4 litre (1 mole) methane
=805.8kJ
So, heat evolved by burning 1000 Litre (1m3) methane =100022.4×805.8=35973.2kJ
