<u>Answer: </u>The correct rate of the reaction is
<u>Explanation:</u>
Rate law of the reaction is the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in the terms of the molar concentrations of the reactants with each term raised to the power of their respective stoichiometric coefficients in a balanced chemical equation.
For the given reaction:
The expression for the rate law will be:
<u>Given:</u>
Mass of ice = mass of water = 5.50 kg = 5500 g
Temperature of ice = -20 C
Temperature of water = 75 C
<u>To determine:</u>
Mass of propane required
<u>Explanation:</u>
Heat required to change from ice to water under the specified conditions is:-
q = q(-20 C to 0 C) + q(fusion) + q (0 C to 75 C)
= m*c(ice)*ΔT(ice) + m*ΔHfusion + m*c(water)*ΔT(water)
= 5500[2.10(0-(-20)) + 334 + 4.18(75-0)] = 3792 kJ
The enthalpy change for the combustion of propane is -2220 kJ/mol
Therefore, the number of moles of propane corresponding to the required energy of 3792 kJ = 1 mole * 3792 kJ/2220 kJ = 1.708 moles of propane
Molar mass of propane = 44 g/mol
Mass of propane required = 1.708 moles * 44 g/mol = 75.15 g
Ans: 75.15 grams of propane must be combusted.
