IIT/JEE Chemistry Practice #26: Enthalpy of Combustion

Dave explains a problem involving the enthalpy of combustion for glucose. He outlines the combustion reaction, balances the equation, and performs a thermochemical analysis using standard enthalpies of formation. The enthalpy of combustion is calculated per mole and then converted to per gram of glucose, resulting in -16.11 kJ/g.

What are the standard enthalpies of formation for carbon dioxide, liquid water, and solid glucose at 25 degrees Celsius?

Describe the combustion reaction of glucose including the reactants and products.

How do you calculate the standard enthalpy change for a reaction?

What is the enthalpy of combustion for glucose per mole?

How do you convert the enthalpy of combustion from per mole to per gram?
