Transcribed Image Text:How much energy in kJ is released in burning 2.41 mL of gasoline (assuming that all of it is octane with a density of 0.692 g/mL and a molar mass of 114.23 g/mol)
The equation for the combustion reaction is
C3H18(t) + 25/202(g) → 8CO2(g) + 9H2O(!)
AHF° kJ/mol
C3H18(8): -250.3
O2(g): 0
CO2(g): -393.5
H20(8): -285.8
Expert Solution

Step 1
The chemical reactions can be exothermic or endothermic in nature. Exothermic reactions releases energy in chemical reaction. Endothermic reactions take energy to complete the reaction. Combustion reactions are exothermic reactions.
