Frequently Asked Questions
What is heat of combustion?
Heat of combustion (ΔH_comb) is the energy released when one mole of a substance undergoes complete combustion with oxygen under standard conditions. It is always exothermic (negative ΔH), meaning energy is released.
Why is hydrogen considered a clean fuel?
Hydrogen combustion produces only water (2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O), releasing 142 kJ/g — the highest energy per gram of any common fuel. It produces no CO₂ emissions, though its production method matters.
