The species which by definition has zero standard molar enthalpy of formation at $298 \mathrm{~K}$ is
  1. $\mathrm{Br}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})$
  2. $\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})$
  3. $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g})$
  4. $\mathrm{CH}_{4}(\mathrm{~g})$

Solution

The species in its elemental form has zero standard molar enthalpy of formation at $298 \mathrm{~K}$. At $298 \mathrm{~K}, \mathrm{Cl}_{2}$ is gas while $\mathrm{Br}_{2}$ is liquid. ,
