I need to know too! Are we in the same class?
how does the heat of combustion of propane compare to the heat of combustion of paraffin wax
The molar heat of combustion of octanol is 5294
Yes, the combustion of coal (oxydation reaction) is an exothermic reaction, releasing heat.
Natural gas is not just one type of hyrdocarbon, and so its heat of combustion (or enthalpy of combustion) will vary from sources. However, it is primarily formed from methane which has a "heat of combustion" of 889 Kilojoules per mole, you could use that value. Hope that's what you wanted!
Diesel heat of combustion : 45 MJ/kg , 10.7 Mcal/kg 19,300 BTU/lb
how does the heat of combustion of propane compare to the heat of combustion of paraffin wax
The experimental molar heat of combustion is the heat released by the total combustion of a substance, determined in a calorimeter.
The heat of combustion for decane is 6779 kJ / mol. Heat of combustion increases with chain length of alkanes.
Heat of combustion is a chemical property of matter.
The molar heat of combustion of octanol is 5294
You think probable to molar heat, expressed in J/mol.
Petrol has a higher value of the heat of combustion.
Through combustion they produce heat.
Combustion requires Heat, Fuel and Oxygen
Yes, the combustion of coal (oxydation reaction) is an exothermic reaction, releasing heat.
NO Heat Loss , No Heat gain
Heat of combustion of a hydrocarbon is based on the reaction: fuel + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water (unless you have some nitrogen or sulfur in the fuel, in which case it gets a little more complex) The heat of formation of O2 is zero (O2 is the reference state) The heat of formation of CO2 is the same as the heat of combustion for carbon The heat of formation of H2O is the same as the heat of combustion for hydrogen To find the heat of formation of the fuel, you subtract the heat of combustion from the heats of formation - (weighted with the stoichiometric coefficients from the balanced reaction equation).
