Consider the reactions given below. On the basis of these reactions find out which of the algebric relations given in options (i) to (iv) is correct?

(a) C(g) + 4H(g) → CH4 (g); ΔrH = x kJ mol–1

(b) C (graphite,s) + 2H2 (g) → CH4 (g); ΔrH = y kJ mol–1

(i) x = y

(ii) x = 2y

(iii) x > y

(iv) x < y

(iii)

Justification : Same bonds are formed in reaction (a) and (b) but bonds between reactant molecules are broken only in reaction (b).
