Correct Answer - D
`C_(2)H_(2)(g)+(5)/(2)O_(2)(g) to 2CO_(2)(g)+H_(2)O(l),DeltaG^(@)=-1234kJ` . . (i)
`C(s)+O_(2)(g) to CO_(2)(g),DeltaG^(@)=-394kJ` . . (ii)
`H_(2)(g)+(1)/(2)O_(2)(g) to H_(2)O(l),DeltaG^(@)=-237kJ` . . (iii)
Eqs. (ii)+(iii)-(i).
`2C(s)+H_(2)(g)toC_(2)H_(2)(g)`
`DeltaG^(@)=2(-394)+(-237)-(-1234)=209kJ`.
