The heat of combustion of ethane is -1559.7 J/mol.
The equation of the reaction is;
2C₂H₆ (g) + 7O₂ (g) ⟶ 4CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (l)
Hence;
ΔH°reaction = [4(-393.5) + 6(-285.8)] - [2(-84.7) + 7(0)]
ΔH°reaction =[(-1574) + (-1714.8)] + 169.4
ΔH°reaction = -3119.4 J/mol
If 2 moles of C₂H₆ produces -3119.4 J/mol
1 mole of C₂H₆ produces -1559.7 J/mol
