For this question, we have the complete combustion of methane, where it reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide in water.
00:08
This reaction has an enthalpy of change or delta h of negative 890 .3 kilojoules.
00:15
And we want to know if we react 8 .61 grams of oxygen, how much energy is going to be released from that particular reaction.
00:24
So for these types of questions, you always start with the number that's given to you in the problem.
00:28
So we're going to start with our 8 .61 grams of oxygen.
00:34
We're going to need to be in moles in order to figure out how much energy is going to be released from the reaction of this amount of oxygen.
00:42
So we're going to use its molar mass.
00:43
So we've got one mole of oxygen, and its molar mass is 32 grams.
00:52
Finally, we're going to use our delta h value...
