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.

What is the most likely type of bond formed between element x and iodine?
Tanzania [10]
The most likely bond between element X and Iodine would be an ionic, or electrovalent, bond. Iodine has seven electrons in its outer shell, also known as the valence shell. To become perfectly stable, it needs only a single electron from another element. Hence no sharing of electron takes place (usually), which is the condition required for it to be covalent bonding. Hence it's most likely an ionic bonding/

Which of these planets has the coldest surface temperature?
lianna [129]

Neptune planet has the coldest surface temperature

<u>Explanation:</u>

With temperatures falling to -218°C in Neptune’s upper atmosphere, the planet is one of the coolest in our Solar System.  Neptune is the most faraway planet from the sun. Astronomers have speculated that Neptune's huge internal temperature and the transfer of heat between the core and outer layers might be the cause why Neptune isn't significantly more chill than Uranus.

Pressures in this area range between 1 and 5 bars and the temperature reaches a high of 72 K. At this temperature, states are becoming for methane to condense, and clouds of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide are thought to form. At its core, Neptune reaches temperatures of up to 7273 K which is equivalent to the surface of the sun.
