Solution

The standard heat of formation (ΔH°f) is zero for elements in their standard states. The standard state of an element is its most stable physical state (solid, liquid, or gas) at 1 atm and 25°C.

Looking at the options given: C3, C4, and C2, these are all allotropes of carbon.

C3 and C4 are not standard states of carbon. The most stable form of carbon under standard conditions is graphite, which is a form of C (not C2, C3, or C4).

Therefore, none of the options given (C3, C4, C2) would have a standard heat of formation ΔH°f of zero at 25°C. The correct answer would be C (graphite).
