A general equation for a combustion reaction would be expressed as follows:
CxHy + (x+y/2)O2 = xCO2 + y/2H2O
Propane would obviously would only have carbon and hydrogen in its structure. Assuming a complete combustion, all of the carbon atoms would go to carbon dioxide and all of the hydrogen atoms to water. To determine the empirical, we determine the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms present.
moles C = 2.461 g CO2 ( 1 mol / 44.01 g ) ( 1 mol C / 1 mol CO2 ) = 0.06 mol C
moles H = 1.442 g H2O ( 1 mol / 18.02 g ) ( 2 mol H / 1 mol H ) = 0.16 mol H
Then, we divide the smallest amount to the each mole of the atoms. We do as follows:
C = 0.06 / 0.06 = 1
H = 0.16 / 0.06 = 2.67
Then we multiply a number in order to obtain a whole number ratio between the atoms.
1 CH2.67
2 C2H5.34

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of heat released is 56 MJ.
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:
Given mass of
= 12 kg = 12000 g (Conversion factor: 1 kg = 1000 g)
Molar mass of
= 30 g/mol
Putting values in above equation, we get:

The chemical reaction for hydrogenation of ethene follows the equation:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
When 1 mole of ethane releases 140 kJ of heat.
So, 400 moles of ethane will release =
of heat.
Converting this into Mega joules, using the conversion factor:
1 MJ = 1000 kJ
So, 
Hence, the amount of heat released is 56 MJ.
