9.103 One reason why the energy density of a fuel is important is that to move a vehicle one must also move its unburned fuel. Octane is a major component of gasoline. It burns according to the reaction 2C 8 H 18 ( l ) + 25 O 2 ( g ) → 16CO 2 ( g ) + 18H 2 O ( g ) Δ H ° = − 1 . 1 0 × 1 0 4 kJ Starting from this thermochemical equation, describe how you would determine the energy density, in kJ/g, for octane. Be sure to indicate what you would need to calculate or look up to complete this problem.
