Homework Statement
C25H52 reacts in a combustion reaction. Calculate Bond Energy
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
the balanced equation would be
C25H52 + 38O2 = 25CO2 + 26H2O
38 o=o bonds + 50 c-o bonds + 52 h-o bonds
(38*495 KJ) + (50*-358 KJ) + (52*-467 KJ)
I have gotten this far but i don't know what the structure of the C25H52 is so i don't know how many c-c, c-h, or h-h bonds there may be. Could anyone help me figure it out.
