Problem: Which of the following gases would you expect to have the greater enthalpy of reaction per mole for combustion? Why?
FREE Expert Solution
Consider the following:
- The heat of reaction from combustion will come from the energy released from breaking the bonds in these molecules.
- This means that the more bonds are broken, the higher the heat of reaction.
- So a molecule with the higher number of bonds would have a higher heat of combustion per mole.
