Given the following combustion data for three different fuels: CH 4 (g), C 8 H 18 (l) and CH 3 OH (l) CH 4 (g)

Given the following combustion data for three different fuels: CH4 (g), C8H18 (l) and CH3OH (l)

CH4 (g) + 2 O2 (g) CO2 (g) + 2 H2O (l) H = 890 kJ

2 C8H18 (l) + 25 O2 (g) 16 CO2 (g) + 18 H2O (l) H = 10,914 kJ

2 CH3OH (l) + 3 O2 (g) 2 CO2 (g) + 4 H2O (l) H = 1453 kJ

which fuel provides the most energy per gram upon combustion and which provides the least?

a) C8H18 provides the most energy per gram and CH4 the least.

b) C8H18 provides the most energy per gram and CH3OH the least.

c) CH4 provides the most energy per gram and CH3OH the least.

d) CH4 provides the most energy per gram and C8H18 the least

e) CH3OH provides the most energy per gram and CH4 the least.
