What is the heat of combustion of ethane, c2h6, in kilojoules per mole of ethane? enthalpy of formation values can be found in this list of thermodynamic properties?

The heat of combustion of ethane C₂H₆: -1559.9 kJ / mol

The change in enthalpy in the formation of 1 mole of the elements is called enthalpy of formation

The enthalpy of formation measured in standard conditions (25 ° C, 1 atm) is called the standard enthalpy of formation (ΔHf °)

Determination of the enthalpy of formation of a reaction can be through a calorimetric experiment, based on the principle of Hess's Law, enthalpy of formation table, or from bond energy data

Delta H reaction (ΔH) is the amount of heat / heat change between the system and its environment

(ΔH) can be positive (endothermic = requires heat) or negative (exothermic = releasing heat)

The value of ° H ° can be calculated from the change in enthalpy of standard formation:

ΔH∘rxn = ΔH∘f of the product (s) if ∆Hf ° (reactants) = 0

The elements in standard conditions are not included in the enthalpy calculations because the enthalpy of those elements under the standard conditions is zero.

From data on the internet:

∆H ° f H₂O: -285.8 kJ

°H ° f CO₂: -393.5 kJ

°H ° f C₂H₆: -84.7 kJ

Combustion of ethane, C₂H₆

2C₂H₆ (g) + 7O₂ (g) ⟶ 4CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (l)

= {[4 (∆H ° f CO₂ (g))] + [6 (∆H ° f H₂O (l))]} - {2 [∆H ° f C₂H₆ (g)] + [(7) (∆ H ° f O₂ (g))]}

= {[4 (-393.5 kJ)] + [6 (-285.8 kJ]} - {2 [-84.7 kJ] + [(0 kJ)]}

= -1574 kJ -1714.8 kJ +169.4 kJ

= 3119.8 kJ (for 2 mol C₂H₆)

for 1 mole C₂H₆ ---> 3119.8 kJ: 2 = = -1559.9 kJ / mol
