Concept Introduction:
The reactant that determines the concentration of the product formed in a chemical reaction is known as limiting reagent. The other reactants left in the reaction mixture are termed as reactants in excess.

Ethanol, C2H6O, is most often blended with gasoline - usually as a 10 percent mix - to create a fuel called gasohol. Ethanol is a renewable resource and ethanol-blended fuels, like gasohol, appear to burn more efficiently in combustion engines. The heat of combustion of ethanol is 326.7 kcal/mol.The heat of combustion of 2-methylhexane, C7H16, is 1.150×103 kcal/mol. How much energy is released during the complete combustion of 495 grams of 2-methylhexane ? ______kcalAssuming the same efficiency, would 495 grams of ethanol provide more, less, or the same amount of energy as 495 grams of 2-methylhexane? Hydrocarbons, compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen, are important in fuels.The heat of combustion of cyclohexane, C6H12, is 936.8 kcal/mol.Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of cyclohexane. + + How much energy is released during the complete combustion of 364 grams of cyclohexane ? _______kcal Combustion…arrow_forwardThe complete combustion of one mole of 2,3-dimethyl-4-(1-methylethyl)heptane produces how many moles of H2O?arrow_forward
