Given that 2.5 x 10^-2 moles of a hydrocarbon experience full combustion, resulting in the release of 104.1 kJ of heat, what is the molar enthalpy of combustion for said hydrocarbon?
The heat of combustion of 2-methylheptane, C8H18, is 5464 kJ/mol. How much energy is released during the complete combustion of 399 grams of 2-methylheptane ?
a) 19,100 kJ
b) 21,800 kJ
c) 16,200 kJ
d) 20,100 kJ
The heats of combustion of methane and butane are 890 kJ/mol (212.8 kcal/mol) and 2876 kJ/mol (687.4 kcal/mol), respectively. When used as a fuel, would methane or butane generate more heat for the same mass of gas? Which would generate more heat for the same volume of gas?

- 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 Retry Entire Group 9 more group attempts remainingarrow_forwardWhen 13.0 g of acetylene, C2H2, undergoes complete combustion, 65.5 kJ of heat are released. a) How much energy is released when one mole of acetylene is burned? b) Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction and include the heat value in the equation.arrow_forward(a) Calculate the standard enthalpy change for the combustion of 1 mol of benzene, C6H61l2, to CO21g2 and H2O1l2.(b) Compare the quantity of heat produced by combustion of 1.00 g propane with that produced by 1.00 g benzene.arrow_forward

- Gasohol is a mixture of 90% gasoline and 10% ethanol, CH 3CH 2OH. Ethanol is considered an environmentally friendly fuel additive because it can be made from a renewable source—sugarcane.
