During complete combustion of one mole of butane, 2658 kJ of heat is released. The thermochemical reaction for above change is

Answer»

`2C_(4) H_(10(g))+ 13O_(2(g)) to 8CO_(2(g)) + 10H_(2) O_((l)) , Delta_(c) H= - 2658.0 "kJ mol"^(-1)`
`C_(4) H_(10(g))+ (13)/(2)O_(2(g)) to 4CO_(2(g)) + 5H_(2) O_((l)) , Delta_(c) H= - 1329.0 "kJ mol"^(-1)`
`C_(4) H_(10(g))+ (13)/(2)O_(2(g)) to 4CO_(2(g)) + 5H_(2) O_((l)) , Delta_(c) H= - 2658.0 "kJ mol"^(-1)`
`C_(4) H_(10(g))+ (13)/(2)O_(2(g)) to 4CO_(2(g)) + 5H_(2) O_((l)) , Delta_(c) H= + 2658.0 "kJ mol"^(-1)`

SOLUTION :GIVEN that, the complete combustion reaction of one MOLE of butane is represented thermodynamically as :
`C_(4) H_(10(g)) + (13)/(2) O_(2(g)) to 4CO_(2(g)) to 4CO_(2(g)) + 5H_(2) O_((l))`
We have to take the combustion of one mole of `C_(4) H_(10) and Delta_( C) H` should be negative and have a value of 2658 `"kJ mol"^(-1)`
