A combustion reaction of a hydrocarbon is defined as the
reaction of the compound into carbon dioxide and water.
CmHn(g) + (m+(1/4)n)O2(g) ---> mCO2 + (1/2)nH2O(l)
1. Demonstrate that this chemical reaction is balanced.
2a. From this definition, write down the chemical reaction for
the combustion of cyclopropane, C3H6(g).
2b. The enthalpy of reaction for the combustion of cyclopropane
(i.e., the reaction in 2a) is measured to be ΔH° rxn = −2091 kJ/mol
in the standard state at 25° C....
