State

A standard enthalpy of combustion is the enthalpy change when one mole of a substance burns completely under standard state conditions.

Show

Ethanol's standard enthalpy of combustion is a large negative value, reflecting the substantial heat released when one mole burns completely.

Watch for

A tabulated enthalpy of combustion describes one mole burning completely, not whatever partial amount a real burn consumes.
