of combustion of isobutylene is . The value of is [DCE 2004]:
To determine the relationship between and (internal energy change), we first write the balanced thermochemical equation for the combustion of isobutylene (2-methylpropene, ). Based on general combustion principles provided in the sources, the reaction is:
According to the sources, the relationship between enthalpy and internal energy is . Here, is the change in the number of moles of gaseous products and reactants .
Substituting this into the formula yields: , which simplifies to .
Since and are positive values, subtracting from results in a value that is smaller. Therefore, , which matches Option D.
