Question

Which combustion reaction releases the least energy per mole of C3H8?

Approximate bond enthalpy / kJ mol−1
O=O    500
C=O    800
 C≡O   1000


A.  C3H8 (g) + 5O2 (g) → 3CO2 (g) + 4H2O (g)

B.  C3H8 (g) + 92O2 (g) → 2CO2 (g) + CO (g) + 4H2O (g)

C.  C3H8 (g) + 4O2 (g) → CO2 (g) + 2CO (g) + 4H2O (g)

D.  C3H8 (g) + 72O2 (g) → 3CO (g) + 4H2O (g)
