Octane $\left(\mathrm{C}_{8} \mathrm{H}_{18}\right)$ is a liquid hydrocarbon at room temperature that is the primary constituent of gasoline. (a) Write a balanced equation for the combustion of $\mathrm{C}_{8} \mathrm{H}_{18}(l)$ to form $\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)$ and $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l) .$ (b) Without using thermochemical data, predict whether $\Delta G^{\circ}$ for this reaction is more negative or less negative than $\Delta H^{\circ}$.
