Let's begin with the basic values  that will be used in the solution.

The formula of propane is C3H8. It is an alkane, a hydrocarbon with the general formula of CnH2n+2. Notice that hydrocarbons have only Carbon and Hydrogen atoms. Its molar mass (M) is 44 g.

Molar Mass Calculation is done as like that
C=12 g/mol, H=1 g/mol. 1 mole propane has 3 moles Carbon atoms and 8 mole Hydrogen atoms. M(
C3H8)= 3*12+ 8*1= 44 g

Combustion reaction of hydrocarbons gives carbon dioxide and water by releasing energy. That energy is called as enthalpy of combustion (
ΔHc°).  

ΔHc° of propane equals -2202.0 kj/mol. Burning of 1 mole C3H8 releases 2202 kj energy. Minus sign only indicates that the energy is given out ( an exothermic reaction ).

Let's write the combustion reaction.
C3H8 + O2 ---> CO2 + H20 (unbalanced) 
ΔHc° = -2202 kj/mol

Now, we calculate mole of 20 kg propane. Convert kilogram into gram since we use molar mass is defined in grams.
mole=mass/molar mass ; n=m/M ; n= 20000 g /44 (g/mol)=454 mole

1 mole propane releases 2202 kj energy.
454 mole propane release 2202 kj *454= 1000909 kj

The answer is 1000909 kj.

Explanation:

the tip of a growing plant contains special rapidly diving cells called apical meristem ,these cells are responsible for increase in the length of the plant . if we cut out these cells ,length growth of the plant will be stunned as these cells are not present anyplace else.

Methane, CH4, burns in oxygen gas to form water and carbon dioxide. What is the correct balanced chemical equation for this reac
maks197457 [2]

The correct balanced chemical equation which occur when methane burn in oxygen gas is

CH4 + 2O2 --> 2H2O +CO2 (answer D)

when methane is burned in presence of oxygen gas it produces carbon(IV) oxide and water and energy,that is 1 mole of CH4 reacted with 2 moles of O2 to form 2 moles of water and 1 mole of CO2 and enegy. This energy make the methane to be used as fuel.

What temperature in degrees c is the freezing point of water?
guajiro [1.7K]
The freezing point of water is 0° C. The Celsius (centigrade) scale is based off of water, with the freezing point at 0° and the boiling point at 100°. (Google will probably tell you this in 10 seconds, then you wouldn't have had to wait 7 hours!)
