What is the heat of reaction if the heat of combustion of products is 2 J and heat of combustion of reactants is 10 J?
(a) 8 J
(b) -8 J
(c) 4 J
(d) -4 J
This question was posed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.
My question comes 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
