For an EXOTHERMIC
reaction, ∆H is negative.
This means that heat has
been lost from the

EXAMPLE: the temperature

of 100g of water was
increased by 32.6oC by heating
with 0.46 grams of ethanol.

Assuming no heat losses from

the apparatus, what was the
enthalpy of combustion of
ethanol, C2H5OH?

Ethanol C2H5OH = 24 + 5 + 16 + 1 = 46

(joules)

Ethanol C2H5OH = 24 + 5 + 16 + 1 = 46

So the mass of one mole of ethanol is 46g

The energy released from the combustion of one

mole of ethanol

= 13692 x 46/0.46 = 1369200 J

= 1369.2 kJ

Burning ethanol is an EXOTHERMIC

reaction, so heat energy is lost
(∆H is –ve)

The molar enthalpy of combustion of

ethanol is therefore:

= -1369.2 kJ/mol
