Question
What is the enthalpy of combustion of butane in kJ mol−1?
2C4H10(g) + 13O2(g) → 8CO2(g) + 10H2O(l)
\[\begin{array}{*{20}{l}} {{\text{C(s)}} + {{\text{O}}_2}{\text{(g)}} \to {\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_2}{\text{(g)}}}&{\Delta H = x{\text{ kJ}}} \\ {{{\text{H}}_2}{\text{(g)}} + \frac{{\text{1}}}{2}{{\text{O}}_2}{\text{(g)}} \to {{\text{H}}_2}{\text{O(l)}}}&{\Delta H = y{\text{ kJ}}} \\ {4{\text{C(s)}} + {\text{5}}{{\text{H}}_2}{\text{(g)}} \to {{\text{C}}_4}{{\text{H}}_{{\text{10}}}}{\text{(g)}}}&{\Delta H = z{\text{ kJ}}} \end{array}\]
