1 Comparing Fossil Fuel and Biofuel Combustion

2 Short Introduction Methane:
A non-renewable fossil fuel gas pumped from deep below the Earth’s surface from both coal and oil deposits. A major component of biogas - a renewable fuel that is produced from decaying plant and animal manure. Ethanol: Renewable liquid biofuel produced from several different types of plant material. Octane: A non-renewable liquid fossil fuel which is the major component of gasoline refined from crude oil.

3 A Quick Review Carbon-based fuels such as wood, coal, and gasoline supply energy. These fuels release exothermic energy during a combustion chemical reaction. The energy has been stored within the bonds of the molecules. The energy is released because the chemical bond energy of the products are less than the chemical bond energy of the reactants. The products of most combustion reactions include water and carbon dioxide

4 Bond Energy between two atoms
Use the information in Table 1 to determine the energy in the bonds of each of the different molecules. TABLE 1: BOND ENERGY VALUES Bond Energy (kJ/mole) C - H 414.2 C - C 347.3 O - H 464.4 Bond Energy (kJ/mole) C - O 357.7 H - H 439.4 Bond Energy (kJ/mole) C = O 803.2 O = O 494.9

5 Calculating the Total Bond Energy of a molecule.
TABLE 1: BOND ENERGY VALUES Structural Formula Bond Type Bond Energy (kJ/mole) # bonds in the molecule Total Bond Energy Methane: CH4

6 Part B - Calculating the Energy Released During Combustion Reactions
Use the information in Table 1 to determine the energy in the bonds of each of the different reactant molecules. TABLE 1: BOND ENERGY VALUES Bond Energy (kJ/mole) C - H 414.2 C - C 347.3 O - H 464.4 Bond Energy (kJ/mole) C - O 357.7 H - H 436.0 Bond Energy (kJ/mole) C = O 803.3 O = O 497.9

7 PART 2: Calculating release energy
CH O2 → CO2 + H2O

8 Part B - Calculating the Energy Released During METHANE Combustion
Energy released = (total bond energy of products) - (total bond energy of all reactants) CH O2 → CO H2O REACTANTS Molecule Bond energy per molecule (kJ/mole) # of molecules Total bond energy (kJ/mole) CH4 1656.8 1 O2 497.9 2 995.8 Total Bond Energy in reactants = kJ/mole PRODUCTS Molecule Bond energy per molecule (kJ/mole) # of molecules Total bond energy (kJ/mole) CO2 1606.4 1 H2O 928.8 2 1857.6 Total Bond Energy in products = kJ/mole
