The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The standard enthalpy change of formation for ethanol, CO₂, and H₂O is given. Using Hess's Law, the enthalpy of the combustion reaction is calculated by subtracting the enthalpy of formation of the reactants from the products. The correct value of \(\Delta H_f^{\circ}\) is -1367 kJ/mol.
