Question

During complete combustion of one mole of butane, 2658 kJ of heat is released. The thermochemical reaction for above change is
(a) 2C4H10(g)+13O2(g)8CO2(g)+10H2O(l); ΔcH=2658.0kJ mol1
(b) C4H10(g)+132O2(g)4CO2(g)+5H2O(l); ΔcH=1329.0kJ mol1
(c) C4H10(g)+132O2(g)4CO2(g)+5H2O(l); ΔcH=2658.0kJ mol1
(d) C4H10(g)+132O2(g)4CO2(g)+5H2O(l); ΔcH=+2658.0kJ mol1

Solution

(d)

Given that, the complete combustion of one mole of butane is represented by thermochemical reaction as
C4H10(g)+132O2(g)4CO2(g)+5H2O(l)
We have to take the combustion of one mole of C4H10 and ΔcH should be negative and have a value of 2658 kJ mol1.
