Question

The combustion of isoctane reaction produces -5099.5 kJ of heat per mole of C8H18 (g) consumed, under standard conditions.  The enthalpy of formation (DHf) for CO2(g) and H2O (g) are -393.5 kJ/mol and -241.8 kJ/mol, respectively.  Find the standard enthalpy of formation (DHf) of this isomer of C8H18 (g)? (Show work)

 

C8H18 (g) + O2(g) -> 8CO2(g) + 9H2O(g)  DHrxn = -5099.5 kJ
