Condensation occurs through the release of energy
Answer:
this is a required answer. look it once.
The deltaHrxn = -243 kJ/mol the deltaHrxn of CH4(methane) = -802 kJ/mol
The fuel that yields more energy per mole is METHANE. The negative sign merely signifies the release of energy. Thus, 802 kJ/mol is greater than 243 kJ/mol.
The fuel that yields more energy per gram is HYDROGEN. Here is the computation:
deltaHrxn = (-243 kJ/mol)(1 mol/2.016 g H2) <span>= -120.535714286 kJ/g or -121 kJ/g
</span>deltaHrxn of CH4(methane) = (-802 kJ/mol)(1 mol/16.04 g)
<span>= -50 kJ/g
</span>
As discussed the negative sign serves as the symbol of released energy. Thus, 121 is greater than 50.
