Answer:
To release 7563 kJ of heat, we need to burn 163.17 grams of propane
Explanation:
<u>Step 1</u>: Data given
C3H8 + 5O2 -----------> 3CO2 + 4H2O ΔH° = –2044 kJ
This means every mole C3H8
Every mole of C3H8 produces 2044 kJ of heat when it burns (ΔH° is negative because it's an exothermic reaction)
<u>Step 2: </u>Calculate the number of moles to produce 7563 kJ of heat
1 mol = 2044 kJ
x mol = 7563 kJ
x = 7563/2044 = 3.70 moles
To produce 7563 kJ of heat we have to burn 3.70 moles of C3H8
<u>Step 3: </u>Calculate mass of propane
Mass propane = moles * Molar mass
Mass propane = 3.70 moles * 44.1 g/mol
Mass propane = 163.17 grams
To release 7563 kJ of heat, we need to burn 163.17 grams of propane
Density= Mass/Volume I am positive I just had an assignment on this
