The enthalpies of combustion of formaldehyde and paraformaldehyde (a polymer of formaldehyde) are

-134

and

-732 \mathrm{~kcal} / \mathrm{mol},

respectively. The enthalpy of polymerization per mole of paraformaldehyde is

-72 \mathrm{~kcal}.

The molecular formula of paraformaldehyde is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_6

Option B (

\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_6

) is correct because the enthalpy of polymerization calculation leads to 6 formaldehyde units.
