Question

7.7 Liquid Octane (C8H18) undergoes combustion according to the following thermochemical equation:
2 C8H18(l) + 25O2(g) → 16CO2(g) + 18H2O(l);  ΔHoreax = -11,020 kJ/mol

Calculate the standard enthalpy of formation of octane, given
ΔHof [ CO2(g)] = -393.5 kJ/mol
ΔHof [ H2O(l)] = -285.8 kJ/mol
