Answer to Question #281199 in General Chemistry for Okoruwa

Question

Cyclohexane, CoHy2, has an enthalpy of combustion of -3921 kJ per mole of cyclohexane. What mass of carbon dioxide, in units of grams, is formed for every 1000.0 kJ of heat released from the complete combustion of cyclohexane at constant pressure?

Answer 1

Hydrocarbons, compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen, are important in fuels.

The heat of combustion of cyclohexane, C6H12, is 936.8 kcal/mol.

Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of cyclohexane.
