Pentane (C5H12) is a component of gasoline that burns according to the following balanced equation:
C5H12(l)+8O2(g)→5CO2(g)+6H2O(g)

Part A

Calculate ΔH∘rxn for this reaction using standard enthalpies of formation. (The standard enthalpy of formation of liquid pentane is -146.8 kJ/mol.)

Express your answer using five significant figures.

ΔH∘rxn =

kJ
