Combustion reactions involve reacting a substance with oxygen. When compounds containing carbon and hydrogen are combusted, carbon dioxide and water are the products. Using the enthalpies of combustion for C4H4 (– 2341 kJ/mol), C4H3 (- 2755 kJ/mol), and H2 (- 286 kJ/mol), calculate AH for the reaction. C4H4 (9) + 2 H2 (g) → C4H§ (9) AH = kJ
