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.

Answer:

0.296 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question.

Mass (M) =35g

Heat Absorbed (Q) = 1606 J

Initial temperature (T1) = 10°C

Final temperature (T2) = 165°C

Change in temperature (ΔT) = T2 – T1 = 165°C – 10°C = 155°C

Specific heat capacity (C) =..?

Step 2:

Determination of the specific heat capacity of iron.

Q = MCΔT

C = Q/MΔT

C = 1606 / (35 x 155)

C = 0.296 J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of iron is 0.296 J/g°C
