AIPMT PRELIMS 2002 Chemistry Hess's Law MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

Heat of combustion ΔH° for C(s), H₂(g) and CH₄(g) are –94, –68 and –213 Kcal/mol. then ΔH° for C(s) + 2H₂(g) → CH₄ (g) is :-

A

–17 Kcal

B

–111 Kcal

C

–170 Kcal

D

–85 Kcal

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Using Hess's law, ΔH° = ΔH°(CH₄) - [ΔH°(C) + 2ΔH°(H₂)] = –²¹³⁻ [–94 + 2(–68)] = –111 Kcal.
