Question

Calculate the standard enthalpy change for the combustion of methane gas using the following reaction: CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(g). Given the standard enthalpy of formation values for methane, carbon dioxide, and water, calculate the heat released or absorbed during this reaction. Express your answer in kJ/mol.

Answer 1

To calculate the standard enthalpy change for the combustion of methane gas, we need the standard enthalpy of formation values for methane  CH4 , carbon dioxide  CO2 , and water  H2O . Please provide these values.
