How much energy is released during the complete combustion of 309 grams of cyclohexane ?

kcal

b.Combustion reactions are exothermic. The heat of reaction for the combustion of octane, C8H18, is 1.308×103 kcal/mol. What is the heat of combustion for octane in kcal/gram?

kcal/gram



How much heat will be given off if molar quantities of octane react according to the following equation?

  • 2 C8H18 + 25 O2ebab9d75-6e9a-4c80-9bcd-b491b668f097.gif16 CO2 + 18 H2O

kcal

c. A scientist measures the standard enthalpy change for the following reaction to be -35.3 kJ :

C2H4(g) + H2O(g)ebab9d75-6e9a-4c80-9bcd-b491b668f097.gifCH3CH2OH(g)

Based on this value and the standard enthalpies of formation for the other substances, the standard enthalpy of formation of H2O(g) is  kJ/mol.

Answer #1

a) [ ] +902 6 co₂+ 6H₂O +936.8 kcal/mol CH12 + O2 6Co2+ 6H₂O +936.8 Kallmol. This is the balanced equation for the combustionfHC2H5OH = -235.1 kJ/mol

fHc2H4 = +52.3 kJ/mol
