When methanol, CH 3 OH , is burned in the presence of oxygen gas, O 2 , a large amount of heat energy is released. For this reason, it is often used as a fuel in high performance racing cars. The combustion of methanol has the balanced, thermochemical equation CH 3 OH ( g ) + 3 2 O 2 ( g ) ⟶ CO 2 ( g ) + 2 H 2 O ( l ) Δ H = − 764 kJ How much methanol, in grams, must be burned to produce 581 kJ of heat?

3. Fossil fuels (petroleum, natural gas, and coal) are excellent fuels composed primarily of hydrocarbons, which when burned in an adequate supply of air are oxidized, forming carbon dioxide and water. Chemical bonds are broken and new bonds are formed, and as a result, energy is released as heat. Calculate the following in the spaces provided using the table below. Show all work. Hydrocarbon Heat of Combustion (kJ/g) Molar Heat of Combustion (kJ/mol) Methane 55.6 890 Ethane 52 1560 Propane...

Consider an internal combustion engine like that used in automobiles. The most common fuel used here is gasoline which is a mixture of hydrocarbons, and an octane rating is given for standardization. Therefore, we will approximate gasoline as being composed of the hydro- carbon, octane, C8H18. Another fuel that is common in racing applications is nitromethane, CH3NO2, used in top fuel dragsters. Let’s consider the combustion of each fuel with oxygen in an internal combustion engine. Let the 8-cylinder engine...
