Octane is a bydrocarbon that is a component of gasoline fuel. The following is the chemical equation for the combustion of octane: 20H 250,-16CO, + 18H,0 . Predict whether this is an endothermic or exothermic reaction, and explain your reasoning. Explain why, based on bond energies, the most common combustion fuels are hydrocarbons.
