Which of the following measurements is used to measure the enthalpy of combustion? A. None of these B. Measuring the change in t
1 answer:
Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
In a substance, the total energy of its molecular motion is known as heat. Whereas when we measure the average energy of molecular motion of a substance then it is known as temperature.
So, any increase or decrease in temperature will lead to change in heat of a substance.
When one mole of a substance is burned then the amount of energy released in the form of heat is known as heat of combustion.
Relation between heat and temperature is as follows.
q =
Thus, we can conclude that to measure the enthalpy of combustion it cannot be measured, only calculated using the equation; q = .

<h3>Further explanation</h3>Density is a quantity derived from the mass and volume
Density is the ratio of mass per unit volume
With the same mass, the volume of objects that have a high density will be smaller than objects with a smaller type of mass
The unit of density can be expressed in g / cm³ or kg / m³
Density formula:
ρ = density
m = mass
v = volume
1 gal equal to = 3785.41 ml
then 17.0 gal = 17 x 3785.41 = 64351.97 ml Octane
grams Octane = ρ x ml
grams Octane = 0.692 g.ml x 64351.97
grams Octane = 44531.563
molar mass Octane (C₈H₁₈) = 114
mole Octane = grams : molar mass
mole Octane = 44531.563 : 114
mole Octane = 390.627
From the reaction
C₈H₁₈ + 25/2 O₂ ⇒ 8 CO₂ + 9H₂O
mole C₈H₁₈ : mole O₂ = 1 : 25/2
mole O₂ = 4882.846
grams O₂ = mole x molar mass
grams O₂ = 4882.846 x 32
grams O₂ = 156251.099
