College Chemistry - Standard Enthalpy and Entropy of Reactions

Use average bond enthalpies to estimate the enthalpy change, in kilojoules, of the combustion of one mole of hexane $(\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_3)$ to form liquid water and carbon dioxide gas.

Type of Bond	Average bond enthalpy $\left(\frac{kJ}{mol}\right)$
Carbon-hydrogen single bond	414
Carbon-oxygen double bond	736
Oxygen-oxygen double bond	498
Oxygen-hydrogen single bond	464
Carbon-carbon single bond	347
