The heat of combustion of $C_xH_y$,carbon,and hydrogen are $a, b$,and $c \ cal/mole$ respectively. The heat of formation of $C_xH_y$ will be:

  • A
    $-\left( xb + \frac{yc}{2} + a \right) \ cal$
  • B
    $\left( xb + \frac{yc}{2} - a \right) \ cal$
  • C
    $\left( xb - \frac{yc}{2} + a \right) \ cal$
  • D
    $\left( xb - \frac{yc}{2} - a \right) \ cal$
