The enthalpy of combustion per mole is -5397.7 kJ/mol.

What is combustion?

The term combustion refers to a reaction in which  a substance is burnt in oxygen. Now we know that octane is a hydrocarbon and its combustion follows the general equation for the combustion of hydrocarbons.

[tex]2C_{8}H_{18} (g) + 25O_{2} (g)---- > 16CO_{2} (g) + 18H_{2} O(g)[/tex]

Given that the number of moles in one gram of octane is obtained from;

1g/114 g/mol = 0.0088 moles

If the burning of 0.0088 moles of octane produces  -47.5 kJ

Burning of 1 mole of octane would produce  1 mole * -47.5 kJ/0.0088 moles

= -5397.7 kJ/mol

We can now write is as;

[tex]2C_{8}H_{18} (g) + 25O_{2} (g)---- > 16CO_{2} (g) + 18H_{2} O(g)[/tex] ΔH = -5397.7 kJ/mol
