Consider the combustion of methanol and butanol. Use the table of average bond energies
Chapter 0, Problem 7(choose chapter or problem)
Consider the combustion of methanol and butanol. Use the table of average bond energies to answer these questions.
Methanol: \(2 \mathrm{CH}_{4} \mathrm{O}(l)+3 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+4 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)\)
Butanol: \(\mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{O}(l)+6 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow 4 \mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+5 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)\)
a. Calculate the net energy exchange for each reaction.
b. Compare your answers to the heat of combustion values for methanol and butanol in Lesson 103: Fuelish Choices. What did you discover?
