With so much instability in the current worldoilmarket, many are seeking out alternative fuels to powercars.Ethanol is a possible alternative fuel.

The combustion of ethanol is thefollowingequation:

C2H5OH(l) + 3 O2(g) ® 2CO2(g) + 3 H2O)

The combustion of octane (C8H18) provides 5509kJ/mol ofenergy.

How many grams of ethanol would berequiredto produce the same amount of energy as 1 moleofoctane?

Equations DHf (kJ/mol)

C(s) + O2(g) ®CO2(g) -394

H2(g) + ½ O2(g) ®H2O(?) -285

2C(s) + 3 H2(g) + ½ O2(g) ® C2H5OH(?) -278

H2(g) + ½ O2(g) ®H2O(g) -242
