Which of these species has a standard enthalpy of formation equal to zero?

The heat of atomisation of methane and ethane are $x \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ and $y \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ respectively. The longest wavelength $(\lambda)$ of light capable of breaking the $C-C$ bond can be expressed in $SI$ unit as :

Which of the following substances has the highest value of standard molar enthalpy of formation at $298 \ K$?

On the basis of the following reactions,which one is correct?
$C_{(gr)} + O_{2_{(g)}} \to CO_{2_{(g)}}, \Delta H = x \ kJ/mol$
$C_{(gr)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2_{(g)}} \to CO_{(g)}, \Delta H = y \ kJ/mol$
$CO_{(g)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2_{(g)}} \to CO_{2_{(g)}}, \Delta H = z \ kJ/mol$

What is the enthalpy change for the reaction $2C(\text{graphite}) + 3H_{2(g)} \rightarrow C_2H_{6(g)}$ called?

Comment on the thermodynamic stability of $NO_{(g)}$,given:
$\frac{1}{2} N_{2(g)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)} \rightarrow NO_{(g)}; \Delta_r H^{\ominus} = 90 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$
$NO_{(g)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)} \rightarrow NO_{2(g)}; \Delta_r H^{\ominus} = -74 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$
