Enthalpy of CH(4)+(1)/(2)O(2)rarrCH(3)OH...

Enthalpy of `CH_(4)+(1)/(2)O_(2)rarrCH_(3)OH` is
negative. If enthalpy of combustion of `CH_(4)` and `CH_(3)OH` are `x` and `y` respectively, then which relation is correct?

A

`x ge y`

B

`x =y`

C

`x gty`

D

`x lty`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
(i) `CH_(4)(g)+2O_(2)(g)rarr CO_(2)(g)+2H_(2)O(l),Delta_("comb")H=x`
(ii) `CH_(3)OH(l)+(3)/(2)O_(2)(g)rarrCO_(2)(g)+2H_(2)O(l), Delta_("comb")H=y`
Reversing reaction (ii) and adding it in (i),
`DeltaH_("reaction")=x-y" for "CH_(4)+(1)/(2)O_(2)rarr CH_(3)OH`
For `x-y lt 0, y gt x`
