    The correct option is;

    B. - 112 kJ

    Explanation:

    The parameters given are;

    N (g) + O₂ (g) → NO (g) ΔH = 90 kJ/mol

    N (g) + O₂ (g) → NO₂ (g) ΔH = 34 kJ/mol

    The required chemical reaction is given as follows;

    2NO (g) + O₂ (g) → 2NO₂ (g)

    Therefore, the heat of formation of 2 moles of NO = 2 * 90 = 180 kJ

    The heat of formation of 2 moles of NO₂ = 2 * 34 = 68 kJ

    Hence, given that the heat of formation of O₂ at room temperature = 0 kJ/mol, we have;

    Change in enthalpy of the chemical reaction = Heat of formation of the products - Heat of formation of the reactants

    Change in enthalpy of the chemical reaction = 68 kJ - 180 kJ = - 112 kJ

    Change in enthalpy of the chemical reaction = - 112 kJ.
