Correct Answer - A
Given,
(i) `2C+3H_(2)toC_(2)H_(6),DeltaH=-21.1` kcal
(ii) `C+O_(2) to CO_(2),DeltaH=-94.1kcal`
(iii) `H_(2)+(1)/(2)O_(2) to H_(2)O,DeltaH=-68.3kcal`
Multiplying Eq. (ii) by 2 and eq. (ii) by 3 then follow, 2(ii)+3
(iii)-(i)
`C_(2)H_(6)+(3)/(2)O_(2) to 2CO_(2)+3H_(2)O`
`Deltax=2(-94.1)+3(-68.3)-(-21.1)`
`=372` kcal
