The answer for the following problem is described below.

Therefore the standard enthalpy of combustion is -2800 kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

enthalpy of combustion of glucose(Δ
H_(f) of
C_(6)H_(12) O_(6)) =-1275.0

enthalpy of combustion of oxygen(Δ
H_(f) of
O_(2)) = zero

enthalpy of combustion of carbon dioxide(Δ
H_(f) of
CO_(2)) = -393.5

enthalpy of combustion of water(Δ
H_(f) of
H_(2) O) = -285.8

To solve :

standard enthalpy of combustion

We know;

Δ
H_(f) = ∈Δ
H_(f) (products) - ∈Δ
H_(f) (reactants)


C_(6)H_(12) O_(6) (s) +6
O_(2)(g) → 6
CO_(2) (g)+ 6
H_(2) O(l)

Δ
H_(f) = [6 (-393.5) + 6(-285.8)] - [6 (0) + (-1275)]

Δ
H_(f) = [6 (-393.5) + 6(-285.8)] - [0 - 1275]

Δ
H_(f) = 6 (-393.5) + 6(-285.8) - 0 + 1275

Δ
H_(f) = -2361 - 1714 - 0 + 1275

Δ
H_(f) =-2800 kJ

Therefore the standard enthalpy of combustion is -2800 kJ
