The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Heat of formation of water is 260 kJ $\therefore$ 260 kJ of heat decomposes 1 mole of water. Hence 130 kJ of heat decomposes $\frac{1}{260} \times $130 = 0.5 mole of water.

Concepts Used:

Specific Heat Capacity

Specific heat of a solid or liquid is the amount of heat that raises the temperature of a unit mass of the solid through 1°C.

Molar Specific Heat:

The Molar specific heat of a solid or liquid of a material is the heat that you provide to raise the temperature of one mole of solid or liquid through 1K or 1°C. 

Specific Heat at Constant Pressure or Volume:

The volume of solid remains constant when heated through a small range of temperature. This is known as specific heat at a constant volume. It is denoted as CV.

The pressure of solid remains constant when heated through a small range of temperature. This is known as specific heat at constant pressure which can be denoted as CP.
