Worksheet for review

1. (a) (i)

The equation for the complete combustion of methane at 150 C is:
CH
4(g)
+ 2O
2(g)
CO
2(g)
+ 2H
2
O
(g)
Use the given data to calculate the enthalpy of combustion of methane under these
conditions. (2)
(ii) The standard enthalpy of combustion of methane is 891 kJ mol
1
.
Explain why this is very different from the value you have calculated in (a)(i).
(1)
(iii) Here are some data about different fuels:

State and explain the advantages and disadvantages of using hydrogen compared with
octane as a fuel for aero planes.
Use the data in the table above and your knowledge of the combustion of fuels to help you.
