Question

the combustion of butane (c4h10) is exothermic by 2878.7kj/mol calculate the standard enthalpy of formation of butane given that the standard enthalpies of formation of co2(g) and h2o(l) are -393.5kj/mol and -285.8kj/mol respectively.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation for the combustion of butane,C4H10, is:

C4H10 (g) + O2 (g) → 4CO2 (g) + 5H2O (g)
