The correct answer is: $-200 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
$2 \mathrm{C}+2 \mathrm{H}_2+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{O}_2 \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CHO}$
$\Delta H_f=\Sigma \mathrm{BE}_{\text {(reactants) }}-\Sigma \mathrm{BE}_{\text {(products) }}$


$=2450-2650$
$=-200 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}$
