The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

The standard heat of combustion is shown in the following chemical equation [tex]C_9H_{20}(g)+14O_2(g)\rightarrow 9CO_2(g)+10H_2O[/tex][tex]\Delta H_{rxn}=-6125.21kJ/mol[/tex].  If 130 g of nonane combusts , how much heat is released?

Answer: 6211.21 kJ

Explanation:

Heat of combustion is the amount of heat released on complete combustion of 1 mole of substance.

Given :

Amount of heat released on combustion of 1 mole of nonane = 6125.21 kJ

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at NTP, weighs equal to the molecular mass and contains avogadro's number [tex]6.023\times 10^{23}[/tex] of particles.

1 mole of nonane [tex](C_9H_{20})[/tex] weighs = 128.2 g  

Thus we can say:  

128.2 g of nonane on combustion releases = 6125.21 kJ

Thus 130 g of [tex]C_4H_{10}[/tex] on combustion releases =[tex]\frac{6125.21}{128.2}\times 130=6211.21kJ[/tex]

Thus the heat of combustion of 130 g of nonane is 6211.21 kJ
