Question

Calculate the enthalpy of combustion for kerosene. Assume that kerosene is C10H22(l) and that the products are CO2(g) and H2O(l).

  ΔH°(C10H22(l)) = –249.6 kJ/mol

  ΔH°(CO2(g)) = –393.5 kJ/mol

  ΔH°(H2O(l)) = –285.8 kJ/mol

 

 

Select one:
a. –872.9 kJ/mol
b. –5489.9 kJ/mol
c. –429.7 kJ/mol
d. –6829.2 kJ/mol
