The combustion of hexane is given by the following reaction. 2 C 6 H 14 + 19 O 2 → 12 CO 2 + 14 H 2 O The enthalpy of reaction is −4163.0 kJ/mol. How much energy (in joules) will be released if 72.78 grams of hexane is burned. (Molar mass of hexane = 86.20 g/mol).

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, for such combustion of hexane which release heat, we can compute that amount by taking into account that the reaction releases 4163.0 kJ of energy every 1 mole of hexane, it means that for 72.78 g, which in moles is:

Thus the energy released when 0.8443 moles of hexane are released turn out:
