Solution

The correct option is B 35973
The combustion reaction for methane is
CH4(g)+2O2(g)CO2(g)+2H2O(g);H=?H=Hf(products)Hf(rectants)=Hf(CO2)+2×Hf(H2O)Hf(CH4)2Hf(O2)=398.82×241.6(76.2)2×0=805.8 kJmol1
Heat evolved by burning 22.4 litre (1 mole) methane
=805.8 kJ
So, heat evolved by burning 1000 Litre (1m3) methane
=100022.4×805.8=35973.2 kJ
