Concept introduction:
The standard enthalpy of combustion can be defined as the heat change for the combustion of one mole of substance that leads to the formation of carbon dioxide and water. The standard enthalpy of combustion can be calculated with the help of enthalpy of formation of reactant and product molecules.
(b)
Interpretation:
The alkane (methane, ethane, propane or butane) which evolves the greatest amount of heat during combustion on the basis of per gram also the alkane desirable for reducing the emission of carbon dioxide should be determined.

- List four common fuels used by our society, and draw structural formulas for the corresponding hydrocarbons that compose them.arrow_forwardWhat is a hydrocarbon? What is the difference between a saturated hydrocarbon and an unsaturated hydrocarbon? Distinguish between normal and branched hydrocarbons. What is an alkane? What is a cyclic alkane? What are the two general formulas for alkanes? What is the hybridization of carbon atoms in alkanes? What are the bond angles in alkanes? Why are cyclopropane and cyclobutane so reactive? The normal (unbranched) hydrocarbons are often referred to as straight-chain hydrocarbons. What does this name refer to? Does it mean that the carbon atoms in a straight-chain hydrocarbon really have a linear arrangement? Explain. In the shorthand notation for cyclic alkanes, the hydrogens are usually omitted. How do you determine the number of hydrogens bonded to each carbon in a ring structure?arrow_forwardGasohol is a mixture of 90% gasoline and 10% ethanol, CH 3CH 2OH. Ethanol is considered an environmentally friendly fuel additive because it can be made from a renewable source—sugarcane. Ethanol burns in air to form CO 2 and H 2O, and, like the combustion of alkanes, this reaction also releases a great deal of energy. Write a balanced equation for the combustion of ethanol.arrow_forward
