Question
Octane (C8H18) is a component of gasoline and combusted according to the reaction
below. Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic and what is the change in heat energy if
34.5 g of octane is combusted with excess oxygen? (Note: the molar mass of octane is
114.2 g/mol)
2C3H18 (1) + 2502 (g) → 16CO2 (g) + 18H20 (g) AH= -10860 kJ
O exothermic, -3280 kJ
O exothermic, -10860 kJ
O exothermic, -1640 kJ
O endothermic, -1640 kJ
O endothermic, -3280 kJ
