Heat of combustion of a hydrocarbon is based on the reaction:
fuel + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water (unless you have some nitrogen or sulfur in the fuel, in which case it gets a little more complex)
The heat of formation of O2 is zero (O2 is the reference state)
The heat of formation of CO2 is the same as the heat of combustion for carbon
The heat of formation of H2O is the same as the heat of combustion for hydrogen
To find the heat of formation of the fuel, you subtract the heat of combustion from the heats of formation - (weighted with the stoichiometric coefficients from the balanced reaction equation).

What is the heat of formation of silicon gas?
The heat of vaporization for silicon is 383 kJ/mol.
Did accretinary collisions during Earth's formation cause heat loss?
No. They generated heat.
What formula is Q equals mcpdeltaT?
q is the amount of heat.. that formula is used in finding heat problems
What is the formula in finding the amount of heat transfered to an object?
The formula for finding the amount of heat transferred to an object is Q = mc(change in T). Q represents heat energy in J, m is the mass of the object in kg, and c is the specific heat of the material.
What is the heat of formation of SO2?
The standard heat/enthalpy of formation of SO2 is -296.8 KJ
What is the formula for finding joules?
There isn't a formula for finding joules. It is a way for finding a force or giving an example.
What is the formula for finding probabilities?
The formula for finding probability depends on the distribution function.
Is the formula for finding the area of an oval the same as the formula for finding the area of a circle?
No because the formula for finding the area of an oval, which is an ellipse, is quite different
What is the formation formula of methyl benzene?
The formula is C7H8.
What is the heat of formation of n2O4?
The heat of formation of zinc nitrate is -2304 kJ.
What is the formula for finding digital ammeter?
There is no formula for finding anything - except perhaps the inevitable "where was it when you last saw it?"
What is the formula for finding the area of an ellipse?
the formula for finding the area of an ellipse is add it then multiply and subtract that is the final
What is the formula of finding perimeter of a rectangle?
The formula for finding the perimiter of a rectangle is add up all of its sides
What is released as sensible heat during the formation of clouds?
Latent heat.
