Solution

To find the heat of combustion of C8H18 in units of kJ/g, we first need to find the molar mass of C8H18.

The molar mass of carbon (C) is approximately 12.01 g/mol and the molar mass of hydrogen (H) is approximately 1.01 g/mol.

So, the molar mass of C8H18 is (812.01 g/mol) + (181.01 g/mol) = 96.08 g/mol + 18.18 g/mol = 114.26 g/mol.

The heat of combustion per mole is given as 5509 kJ/mol.

To find the heat of combustion per gram, we divide the heat of combustion per mole by the molar mass:

5509 kJ/mol ÷ 114.26 g/mol = 48.29 kJ/g.

So, the heat of combustion of C8H18 in units of kJ/g is 48.29 kJ/g.
