Question
The heat of combustion of C8H18, is 5509 kJ/mol. What is the heat of combustion of C8H18, in units of kJ/g? Group of answer choices24.59 kJ/g48.29 KJ/g628475 kJ/g48290 kJ/g
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.
