Enthalpy changes of combustion may be applied to work out enthalpy changes of formation. The equation below shows the enthalpy change of formation of butane. $4\text{C}(s) + 5\text{H}_2(g) \rightarrow \text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}(g)$ Using the standard enthalpy of combustion data given below, what is the numerical value of the standard enthalpy change of formation, $\Delta H_f^{\circ}$, for this reaction?
- A$-5883\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1}$
- B$-129\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1}$
- C$+129\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1}$
- D$+2197\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1}$
