Isooctane Is a Good Model for Gasoline

question 68

Multiple Choice

Isooctane is a good model for gasoline. When 1.14 g of isooctane (C₈H₁₈, molar mass = 114 g/mol) reacted with excess oxygen in a constant volume calorimeter, the temperature of the calorimeter increased by 5.83°C. The calorimeter consisted of two components: a steel vessel with a heat capacity of 1.00 kJ/ °C and 2.00 L of water surrounding it. The density and specific heat capacity of water are 1.00 g/mL and 4.184 J/(g · °C) , respectively. Use these data to determine the molar enthalpy of combustion of isooctane.

• A) 5.83 kJ
• B) 54.6 kJ
• C) 5460 kJ
• D) 48,800 J
• E) 48,800 kJ
