Answer:Methyl benzoate has a very high boiling point i.e. 199°C.Therefore a water-cooled condenser is not advisable as it might crack the condenser tube.So in such cases air condenser tube is normally used for such distillation procedure.
At STP conditions the volume of 1 mol of any ideal gas will be 22.4L
0.500 mol C3H3 x 22.4L / 1 mol = 11.2 L
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.
