Question

C5H12 + 8O2 → 5CO2 + 6H2O

Calculate the energy change for the reaction:

Answer 1

C5H12 (l) + 8O2 (g) ----> 5CO2 (g) + 6H2O (l)
Delta H = -3505.8 kJ/mol

C (s) + O2 (g) -----> CO2 (g)
Delta H = -393.5 kJ/mol

H2 (g) + (1/2)O2 (g) ------> H2O (l)
Delta H = -286 kJ/mol

Possible answers:
a. +35 kJ/mol
b. + 1,073 kJ/mol
c. -4,185 kJ/mol
d. -2,826 kJ/mol
e. -178 kJ/mol
