*Enthalpy of formation of CH₄* = [–890] – [–394 + 2×(–286)] = –890 – [–394 – 572] = –890
– (–966) = *76 kJ/mol*

Q4. Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂ ; ΔH = –467 kJ/mol
Mass Mg = 1.2 g → moles = 1.2 ÷24 ≈ 0.05 mol
*(a)* Heat released = 0.05 × 467 = *23.35 kJ*
*(b)* From equation: 1 mol Mg → 1 mol H₂ → 0.05 mol Mg → 0.05 mol H₂ → volume ≈
0.05×24 = *1.2 dm³*
