to find the heat of combustion per gram u gotta divide it by the molar mass

mH (molar heat)/g for petrol = 5460/114 = 47.89
mH/g kerosene = 10000/210 = 47.6
mH/g hydrogen = 285/2 = 142.5
mH ethanol = 1370/46 = 29.78

therefore its hydrogen


Part B
Density = 0.69g/mL
therefore mass octane = 80*1000 *0.69 = 55200

octane + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water
im not gonna sit here n calculate the moles n stuff, but u basically find molar heat per gram and mole

Part c
use ur standard gas volume to figure out the volume of gas
so mH hydrogen = mH petrol


Please correct me if I'm wrong (which I might be)

a.) Hydrogen

b.)
G of petrol: 0.69 X 80000 = 55200g
n = m/MM = 55200/114 = 484.21 mol of petrol has combusted
energy released: 5460 X 484.21 = 2643786.6 kJ = 2.64 X 10^6 kJ

c.)
n required for 2.64 X 10^6 kJ : 2.64 X 10^6 / 285 = 9263.16 mol
V = n X MV = 9263.16 X 24.79
= 229633.74
= 2.30 X 10^5 L of hydrogen is needed


well....tell me if it is wrong....can't 100% sure it is right as i don't have the answer
