Question
Ethanol, C₂H60, is most often blended with gasoline - usually as a 10 percent mix - to create a fuel called gasohol.
Ethanol is a renewable resource and ethanol-blended fuels, like gasohol, appear to burn more efficiently in combustion
engines. The combustion of one mole of ethanol releases 326.7 kcal of energy.
The combustion of one mole of 2-methylheptane,
C8H18, releases
1.306 × 10³ kcal of energy. How much energy is released during the complete combustion of 405 grams of 2-
methylheptane?
kcal
Assuming the same efficiency, would 405 grams of ethanol provide more, less, or the same amount of energy as 405
grams of 2-methylheptane?
more
less
the same amount
