Question

2C8H18(l) + 25 O2(g) = 16 CO2(g) + 18 H2O(l)

  • The standard enthalpy of formation for H2O(g)is −241.82kJ/mol
  • The standard enthalpy of formation for CO2(g)is −393.5kJ/mol
  • The standard enthalpy of formation for C8H18(l) is −249.9kJ/mol

1)how much CO2 is released from 1 tank of gas?
