Answer #1

Number of moles of C8H18 in 22.2 g = amount of C8H18 (g)/mw of C8H18 (g/mole)= 22.2 g/114.23g/mole= 0.1943 moles

According to the given balanced equation

Combustion of 1 mole of C8H18 produces 5471 kJ heat

Therefore combustion of 0.1677 mole of C8H18 will produce=0.1943 X 5471 kJ heat= 1063.02 kJ of heat
