a) Determine the heat of combustion for pentane, (C5H12). Use the structure of butane deduce the bonding in pentane; it is simply a 5 carbon atom chain with all the remaining valences filled in with hydrogen atoms.
b) Using the value calculated for the heat of combustion of pentane in the previous question, determine the heat content of pentane. HINT: Think about the units of these two quantities.
