Ethanol, C₂H60, is most often blended with gasoline - usually as a 10 percent mix - to create a fuel called gasohol. Ethanol is a renewable resource and ethanol-blended fuels, like gasohol, appear to burn more efficiently in combustion engines. The combustion of one mole of ethanol releases 326.7 kcal of energy. The combustion of one mole of 2-methylhexane, C₂H16, releases 1.150x103 kcal of energy. How much energy is released during the complete combustion of 480 grams of 2-methylhexane? kcal Assuming the same efficiency, would 480 grams of ethanol provide more, less, or the same amount of energy as 480 grams of 2-methylhexane?
