What is the correct electron configuration for chlorine (cl)?

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.

option c: 1605.1 kj

the balanced chemical reaction for combustion of methane is as follows:

here, enthalpy formation of is -74.7 kj/mol, 0 kj/mol, -393.5 kj/mol and -241.82 kj/mol respectively.

the heat released or can be calculated as follow:

putting the values,

thus, heat released by combustion of 1 mol of methane is 802.54 kj/mol. thus, for 2 mol, heat released will be:

therefore, heat released by the combustion of 2 mol of methane is 1605.1 kj.
