Solved: Kerosene, a common space-heater fuel, is a mixture
Chapter 6, Problem 6.99(choose chapter or problem)
Kerosene, a common space-heater fuel, is a mixture of hydrocarbons whose “average” formula is \(\mathrm{C}_{12} \mathrm{H}_{26}\).
(a) Write a balanced equation, using the simplest whole-number coefficients, for the complete combustion of kerosene to gases.
(b) If \(H_{\mathrm{rxn}} \quad 1.5010^{4} \mathrm{~kJ}\) for the combustion equation as written in part (a), determine \(H_{\mathrm{f}}\) of kerosene.
(c) Calculate the heat produced by combustion of 0.50 gal of kerosene (d of kerosene 0.749 g/mL).
(d) How many gallons of kerosene must be burned for a kerosene furnace to produce 1250. Btu (1 Btu 1.055 kJ)?
