Solution

The correct option is C 266 kJ mol1
We are given:
CH3OH (g) CH3OH (l); ΔH=38 kJ mol1

C (g)+4H (g)+O (g)CH3OH (g);ΔH=(3×415+356+463)=2064 kJ mol1

C (graphite)C (g);ΔH=715 kJ mol1

2H2 (g)4H (g);
ΔH=2×2×218=872 kJ mol1

12O2 (g)O(g); ΔH=249 kJ mol1

Adding all the above equations we get our desired equation.: C (graphite)+2H2 (g)+12O2 (g)CH3OH (l) ΔH=Sum of all =ΔHs266 kJ mol1
