Enthalpy of CH₄ + ¹/² O₂ → CH₃OH is negative. If enthalpy of combustion of CH₄ and CH₃OH are x and y respectively. Then which relation is correct

Options

(a) x > y
(b) x < y
(c) x = y
(d) x > y

Correct Answer:

x < y

Explanation:

CH₄ + 1/2 O₂ → CH₃OH, ΔH = x -y; Given ΔH = negative. hence, x-y
