From the standard enthalpies of formation values for some compounds (in `KJ mol^(-1)` ), predict which one of them will be most stable?

A

Propane `(g)(DeltaH_(f)^(@)=-103.8)`

B

`n`-Butane `(g)(DeltaH_(f)^(@)=-124.7)`

C

`n`-Butane `(g)(DeltaH_(f)^(@)=-167.2)`

D

`n`-Octane `(g)(DeltaH_(f)^(@)=-208.4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Greater the standard enthalpy of formation, the more stable will be the compound.
