What is the heat of reaction if the heat of combustion of products is 40 J and heat of combustion of reactants is 25 J?
(a) 5 J
(b) 10 J
(c) 15 J
(d) -15 J
I have been asked this question during an internship interview.
The query is from Heat of Combustion topic in portion Application of Energy Balances in the Absence of Chemical Reactions and Energy Balances: How to Account for Chemical Reaction of Basic Chemical Engineering
