Molar mass of C3H8 = C 3 (12.01 g/mol) = 36.03 (g/mol)
H 8 (1.008 g/mol) = 8.064 (g/mol)

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell, or energy level, of an atom. For example, oxygen has six valence electrons, two in the 2s subshell and four in the 2p subshell. We can write the configuration of oxygen's valence electrons as 2s²2p⁴
<h3>Exothermic reactions
</h3>
These are reactions that transfer energy to the surroundings (ie the energy exits from the reaction, hence the name exothermic). The energy is usually transferred as heat energy, causing the reaction mixture and its surroundings to become hotter. A thermometer is used to detect the temperature increase.
Examples:
Combustion
Neutralisation between acids and alkali
<h3>Endothermic reactions
</h3>
These are reactions that take in energy from the surroundings (ie energy enters the reaction, which will help you to remember the name endothermic). The energy is usually transferred as heat energy, causing the reaction mixture and its surroundings to become colder. A thermometer is used to detect the temperature decrease.
Example:
Electrolysis
