Question
Background: A city of 100,000 people uses approximately 1.0 x 1011 kJ of energy per day. Suppose all of that energy comes from the combustion of liquid octane (c8H18) to form gaseous carbon dioxide and water via the reaction below.
Equation: C8H18 (l) + 25/2 O2 (g) > 8 CO2 (g) + 9 H2O (g)
1) Use standard enthalpies of formation to calculate ΔH
2) How many kg of octane are necessary to provide this energy?
