Hey, I was wondering if anyone could help me with the enthalpy of the following fuels...I've looked around and I can't seem to find a definite one.
If you could at least point me in the right direction, that would be great! It's for an assignment... Thanks. Lozza Ethanol Methanol Isopropanol Paraffin Oil |

I guess you're meaning heats of combustion.
In kJ/mol, these are: Methanol 726 Ethanol 1367 Paraffin oil = Kerosene. You get kerosene from distilling crude oil. It's a mixture of C6 to C16 hydrocarbons. Its heat of combustion averages about 7600 kJ/mol. |

A reaction involves the evolution or absorption of heat. For combustion processes, heat is evolved. In the world of thermodynamics, another term for that is heat of combustion or more generally known as delta H. So yes lozzalay, it is heat of combustion.
Cheers! |
