Pentane (C5H12)(C5H12) is a component of gasoline that burns according to the following balanced equation: C5H12(l)+8O2(g)→5CO2(g)+6H2O(g)C5H12(�)+8O2(�)→5CO2(�)+6H2O(�) Calculate ΔH∘rxnΔ�rxn∘ for this reaction using standard enthalpies of formation. (The standard enthalpy of formation of liquid pentane is -146.8 kJ/molkJ/mol.) Express the enthalpy in kilojoules to four significant figures.
