Enthalpy change of `CH_(4)+(1)/(2) O_(2) rarr CH_(3) OH` is negative . If enthalpy of combustion of`CH_(4)` and`CH_(3)OH` are x and y respectively, then which relation is correct ?A. `x gt y`B. `x lty`C. `x=y`D. `x gey`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
(i) `CH_(4) + 2O_(2)rarr CO_(2)+ 2H_(2)O , DeltaH= x`
(ii) `CH_(3) OH + (3)/(2) O_(2) rarr CO_(2)+ 2H_(2)O, DeltaH =y`
(i) - (ii) gives `DeltaH ` for the given reaction, i.e., `DeltaH = x-y `.As it is -ve , `x lty`
