What is the state for H2? If it is gaseous, then I would say H and E are approximately equal because there is no pressure-volume work being done in the question.
CH3OH(g) + H2(g) --> CH4(g) + H2O(g)
change in gaseous moles = gaseous moles of product - gaseous moles of reactant
change in gaseous moles = 2 mol - 2 mol = 0
Pressure-volume work = -PV = -nRT = -(0 * 8.314J/molK * 298K)
delta E (internal energy) = H + W
delta E = -115.4kJ + 0
delta E = -115.4kJ
