Camping stoves are fueled by propane (C 3 H 8 ), butane [C 4 H 10 (g),

Question:

Camping stoves are fueled by propane (C₃H₈), butane [C₄H₁₀(g), ∆_fH° = −127.1 kJ/mol], gasoline, or ethanol (C₂H₅OH). Calculate the enthalpy of combustion per gram of each of these fuels. [Assume that gasoline is represented by isooctane, C₈H₁₈(ℓ), with ∆_fH° = −259.3 kJ/mol.] Do you notice any great differences among these fuels? How are these differences related to their composition? A camping stove that uses butane as a fuel. Cengage Learning/Charles D. Winters
