Show Answer
Solution:
- Given : $\mathrm{CH}{3} \mathrm{OH}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH}{3} \mathrm{OH}(l) ; \quad \Delta H=-38 \mathrm{~kJ}$
$$ \begin{aligned} 2 \mathrm{H}{2}(g) \longrightarrow & 4 \mathrm{H}(g) ; \ & \Delta H=2 \times 2 \times 218=872 \mathrm{~kJ} \ \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{O}{2}(g) \longrightarrow & \mathrm{O}(g) ; \quad \Delta H=249 \mathrm{~kJ} \end{aligned} $$
