Question

From the data in the table, determine which of the following fuels produces the greatest amount of heat per gram when burned under standard conditions: CO(g), CH4(g), or C2H2(g).

Standard Molar Enthalpies of Combustion
Substance
Combustion Reaction
Enthalpy of Combustion, AH:
kJ at 25 °C)
mol
carbon
C(s) + O2(8) → CO2(g)
-393.5
hydrogen
H,(g) + 0,(g) → H, O()
-285.8
magnesium
Mg(s) + 0,(3) → MgO(s)
-601.6
sulfur
S(s) + O2(g) → SO2(g)
-296.8
carbon
CO(g) + 0,(g) → CO,(g)
-283.0
monoxide
methane
CH4(8) + 202(8) → CO2(8) + 2H2O(1)
-890.8
acetylene
C2H2(g)+ 02(8) –→ 2C0,(g) + H2O(1)
-1301.1
C,H5OH(1) +30,(8) → 2CO,(g)+ 3H,O(I)
ethanol
-1366.8
methanol
CH3 OH(1) +
CO2(g) + 2H2O(1)
-726.1
C3H18(1) + 02(3) –→ 8CO,(g) + 9H2O(!)
isooctane
-5461
