As learnt in

Heat of Reaction -

It is defined as the amount of  Enthalpy change in the reaction for given amount of reaction.

- wherein

C_{(s)}+O_{2(g)}\rightarrow CO_{2(g)}+393.5 KJ 

 

 \Delta H= -24.8-\left ( -17.9+12.5 \right )

            = -24.8+5.4

            = -19.4 Kcal mol-1


Option 1)

-55.2 Kcal mol-1

This option is incorrect

Option 2)

-19.4 Kcal/mol

This option is correct

Option 3)

-30.2 Kcal/mol

This option is incorrect

Option 4)

55.2 Kcal/mol

This option is incorrect
