10.6 EXAMPLES
The examples quote solutions to the resolution of a calculator. Th is is to aid readers in identifying
errors in their calculations, and does not mean the data are accurate to this level.
Example 1: incomplete combustion
Evaluate the energy released from constant pressure combustion of a rich mixture of methane and
air: use f ¼ 1.2.
Solution
The chemical equation is

) takes no part in this reaction and does not need to be considered. The energy
liberated in the reaction (Q
p
) is the difference between the enthalpies of formation of the products and
reactants. ...
