In this case, we can consider that the given heat of combustion is indeed the heat of reaction since it corresponds to the combustion of propane, which is computed by using the heat formation of all the involved species as shown below:

$\Delta _cH=3*\Delta _fH_{CO_2}+4*\Delta _fH_{H_2O}-\Delta _fH_{C_3H_8}-5*\Delta _fH_{O_2}$

Thus, since the heat of formation of gaseous carbon dioxide is -393.5 kJ/mol, water -241.8 kJ/mol and oxygen 0 kJ/mol, the heat of formation of propane is:

$\Delta _fH_{C_3H_8}=3*\Delta _fH_{CO_2}+4*\Delta _fH_{H_2O}-5*\Delta _fH_{O_2}-\Delta _cH\\\\\Delta _fH_{C_3H_8}=3*(-393.5)+4*(-241.8)-5*0-(-2045)\\\\\Delta _fH_{C_3H_8}=-102.7kJ/mol$

Best regards.

What element in the fourth period is an exception to the Aufbau principle? a. Li c. Ca b. Cr d. Br

gulaghasi [49]

The fourth period contains 18 elements, beginning with potassium and ending with krypton. As a rule, period 4 elements fill their 4s shells first, then their 3d and 4p shells, in that order; however, there are exceptions, such as chromium.
