The density of petrol is typically 748.9 kg per litre and comprises 95% octane by mass. (i) Write an equation for the complete combustion of octane. ……………………………………………………………………………………... [1] (ii) Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that will be emitted at r.t.p., if a full tank carrying 50 litres of petrol is completely combusted. You should assume that only octane undergoes combustion. [3] (iii) Ethanol is sometimes added to the petrol for internal combustion engine. The standard enthalpy change of combustion of ethanol, Hc, can be determined by applying Hess’ Law to the energy cycle in Fig. 1.1. Fig. 1.1 Express the standard enthalpy change of combustion of ethanol, Hc, in terms of x, y and z. ……………………………………………………………………………………... [1] (iv) State the type of enthalpy change that x represents. ……………………………………………………………………………………... [1] 7 2ൗ Hc
