The standard molar heats of formation of ethane, carbon dioxide, and liquid water are `-21.1, -94.1`, and `-68.3kcal`, respectively. Calculate the standard molar heat of combustion of ethane.A. `-372 kcal`B. `-240 kcal`C. `162 kcal`D. `183.5 kcal`

Answer» `C_(2)H_(6)(g) +(7)/(2) O_(2)(g) rarr 2CO_(2)(g) +3H_(2)O(g)`
`DeltaH^(Theta) = 2Delta_(f)H_(CO_(2))^(Theta)+3Delta_(f)H_(H_(2)O)^(Theta)-Delta_(f)H_(C_(2)H_(6))^(Theta)`.
`= 2(-94.1) +3(-68.3)-(-21.1) =- 372 kcal`
