For each of the following hydrocarbons, find i) the balanced
chemical reaction equation when burned with oxygen, ii) the amount
of energy released, in MJ, per kg of fuel, iii) the mass of CO2
released, in kg, per kg of fuel, and iv) the mass of CO2 produced
per MJ of energy relased.
(a) Methane (CH4)
You will need the following enthalpies of formation: H◦ f,CO2 =
−393.5 kJ/mol; H◦ f,H2O = −241.8 kJ/mol; H◦ f,CH4 = −74.9 kJ/mol;
H◦...
