Combustion is a chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant, oxygen, to give off combustion products and heat. Complete combustion results when all of the fuel is consumed to form carbon dioxide and water, as in the case of a hydrocarbon fuel. Incomplete combustion results when insufficient oxygen reacts with the fuel, forming soot and carbon monoxide. 

The complete combustion of propane proceeds through the following reaction:
C_{3} H_{8} + 5O_{2} --> 3CO_{2} + 4H_{2}O

Combustion is an exothermic reaction, which means that it gives off heat as the reaction proceeds. For the complete combustion of propane, the heat of combustion is (-)2220 kJ/mole, where the minus sign indicates that the reaction is exothermic. 

The molar mass of propane is 44.1 grams/mole. Using this value, the number of moles propane to be burned can be determined from the mass of propane given. Afterwards, this number of moles is multiplied by the heat of combustion to give the total heat produced from the reaction of the given mass of propane.

 14.50 kg propane  x <u> 1000 g </u> x <u>  1 mole propane   </u>  x <u>  2220 kJ  </u>   
                                     1 kg              44.1 g                     1 mole

= 729,931.97 kJ

How many grams of ammonium chloride (gram formula mass= 53.5 g) are contained in .500 L of a 2.00 M solution?
Elza [17]

Answer:

53.5g of NH4Cl

Explanation:

First, we need to obtain the number of mole of NH4Cl. This is illustrated below:

Volume = 0.5L

Molarity = 2M

Mole =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole = 2 x 0.5

Mole = 1mole

Now, let us convert 1mole of NH4Cl to gram. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of NH4Cl = 53.5g/mol

Number of mole = 1

Mass =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass = 1 x 53.5

Mass = 53.5g

Therefore, 53.5g of NH4Cl is contained in the solution.

Using the Hoffman apparatus for electrolysis, a chemist decomposes 2.3 moles of water into its gaseous elements. How many grams
solong [7]

Answer:

2.318032g

Explanation:

-The electrolysis equation of water is written as below:

2H_2O_{(l)}->2H_2_{(g)}+O_2_{(g)}

-The mole ratio of Water to the hydrogen formed is 1:1, therefore 2.3 moles of hydrogen gas is produced.

-Hydrogen's molar mass is 1.00784 grams:

Mass=moles\times molar \ mass\\\\\=2.3\times 1.00784\\\\=2.318032\ g

Hence, 2.318032 grams of hydrogen is produced.

Natalija [7]
<span> If you want to lift something that weighs 100kg, you have to pull down with a force equivalent to 100kg, which is 1000N (newtons). I hope this helps, please mark brainiest if it does. I will attach a picture I found off the internet to further help you  :)
(There are like 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 other ways I could have put that, to make it sound less creepy, I could just edit it now instead of writing this huge thing... oh well lol)
