Question

Following are heats of combustion per mole for methane, propane, and 2,2,4-trimethylpentane. Each is a major source of energy. On a gram-for-gram basis, which of these hydrocarbons is the best source of heat energy? Hydrocarbon Component of DH0 [KJ (kcal)/mol] CH4 Natural gas 2891 (2213) CH3CH2CH3 LPG 22220 (2531) CH3CCH2CHCH3 CH3 CH3 CH3 Gasoline 25452 (21304)

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 2 problem number 57 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Following are heats of combustion per mole for methane, propane, and 2,2,4-trimethylpentane. Each is a major source of energy. On a gram-for-gram basis, which of these hydrocarbons is the best source of heat energy? Hydrocarbon Component of DH0 [KJ (kcal)/mol] CH4 Natural gas 2891 (2213) CH3CH2CH3 LPG 22220 (2531) CH3CCH2CHCH3 CH3 CH3 CH3 Gasoline 25452 (21304)
From the textbook chapter Alkanes and Cycloalkanes you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
