Fuels

Fuels burn in oxygen to release a lot of energy.
Many hydrocarbons and alcohols are used as fuels. During complete combustion, they produce carbon dioxide and water.

Petrol contains 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, an isomer of octane, that promotes smooth combustion.

2,2,4-trimethylpentane

Alcohols, such as methanol and ethanol, can be used as fuels either on their own or as additives in petrol.

The standard enthalpy change of combustion, $\Delta_{\mathrm{c}} H^{\ominus}$ , of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane is $-5461 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ .

State the two standard conditions for this enthalpy change.
