Question:

Hydrogen and methane are two possible replacements for gasoline in automobiles. The reactions for their combustion are as follows:
H2(g)+ 1⁄2 O2(g) → H2O(ℓ)
CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2 H2O(ℓ)
(a) Calculate ΔrG° for each reaction.
(b) Calculate ΔG° for each fuel on a per gram basis.
(c) Which is a better fuel? Explain.
