- Methane (CH4) is a highly flammable gas that can combust according to the equation below:
CH4 (g) + 2 O2 (g) → 2 H2O (g) + CO2 (g)
a.)Given the standard heats of formation (ΔHof) in the table below, calculate the ΔH of the combustion reaction.
| Compound | ∆Hf° (kJ/mol) |
| CO2 (g) | –393.5 |
| H2O (g) | -241.8 |
| H2O (l) | -285.8 |
| CH4 | -74.87 |
b.)Use the ΔHcombustion from part (a) and the bond enthalpies in the table below to determine the bond enthalpy per mole of O2
| Bond Type | Average Bond Enthalpy (kJ/mol) |
| C - H | 414 |
| C - O | 360 |
| C = O | 799 |
| O - H | 464 |
| O = O | ? |
c.)Draw a reaction profile for the combustion of methane. Use a vertical arrow (↕️) to indicate ΔHcombustion that you calculated in (a)
