Energy by burning carbon-based fuels

Reference no: EM13690869

Question- Many power plants produce energy by burning carbon-based fuels, which also produces carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, so over-production can have negative effects on the environment. Use enthalpy of formation data to calculate the number of moles of CO2(g) produced per mega joule of heat released from the combustion of each fuel under standard conditions (1 atm and 25 °C).

(1) Coal, C(s, graphite):_________mol x MJ-1

(2) Natural gas, CH4(g):_________mol x MJ-1

(3) Propane, C3H8(g):___________mol x MJ-1

(4) Octane, C8H18(l) (?Hf° = -250.1 kJ •mol-1):____mol x MJ-1

I need proficient help to working out this problem
