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

3/4 or 4/4 would be the answer because if you use 1/4 out of 4/4 you would either have an answer of 3/4, 4/4 or 1. The 1 because 4/4 is equal to 1.

Answer:

(a) cesium bromide (CsBr): 9.15 grams

(b) calcium sulfate (CaSO4):  5.85 grams

(c) sodium phosphate (Na3PO4): 7.05 grams

(d) lithium dichromate (Li2Cr2O7):  9.88 grams

(e) potassium oxalate (K2C2O4):   7.15 grams

Explanation:

<u>(a) cesium bromide (CsBr):</u>

Molar mass of CsBR = 212.81 g/mol

Number of moles = molarity * volume

Number of moles = 0.100 M *0.43 L

Number of moles = 0.043 moles

Mass of CsBr required = moles * Molar mass

Mass of CsBr required = 0.043 moles * 212.81 g/mol

Mass of CsBr required = 9.15 grams

<u>(b) calcium sulfate (CaSO4):</u>

Molar mass of CaSO4 = 136.14 g/mol

Mass of CaSO4 required = moles * Molar mass

Mass of CaSO4 required = 0.043 moles * 136.14 g/mol

Mass of CaSO4 required = 5.85 grams

<u>(c) sodium phosphate (Na3PO4):</u>

Molar mass of Na3PO4 = 163.94 g/mol

Mass of Na3PO4 required = moles * Molar mass

Mass of Na3PO4 required = 0.043 moles * 163.94 g/mol

Mass of Na3PO4 required = 7.05 grams

<u>(d) lithium dichromate (Li2Cr2O7):</u>

Molar mass of Li2Cr2O7 = 229.87 g/mol

Mass of Li2Cr2O7 required = moles * Molar mass

Mass of Li2Cr2O7 required = 0.043 moles * 229.87 g/mol

Mass of Li2Cr2O7 required = 9.88 grams

<u>(e) potassium oxalate (K2C2O4):</u>

Molar mass of K2C2O4 = 166.22 g/mol

Mass of K2C2O4 required = moles * Molar mass

Mass of K2C2O4 required = 0.043 moles * 166.22 g/mol

Mass of K2C2O4 required = 7.15 grams

Questions 18-20 refer to the reaction 2NH3 (g) ↔ N2 (g) + 3H2 (g), and ΔH = 92.2 kJ.
Fittoniya [83]
18. <span>Answer is </span>A

<span>  
<span>Since the enthalpy of reaction is positive, the forward reaction is<span> an endothermic reaction which means the energy is gained from the surrounding to happen the reaction. If the temperature decreases, according to the </span></span>Le Chatelier's principle, the system tries to become equilibrium by increasing temperature. Since forward reaction is endothermic (because of the bond breaking), the backward reaction is exothermic (because of the bond making) which releases the energy to the surroundings. This makes the increase of temperature. So if the backward reaction is promoted because of the decrease of temperature, then the concentration of H</span><span>₂ will decrease.</span>

<span>
</span>

19. Answer is A.

The reactant side has 2 moles/molecules of reactants and the product side has 4 moles/molecules of products which come from 1 N₂(g) and 3 H₂<span>(g). If the pressure is reduced in the system, according to the Le Chatelier's principle, the system tries to increase the pressure. </span><span>Hence, forward reaction is promoted because of the higher number of molecules in product side. If the forward reaction is promoted, the concentration of NH</span>₃(g) will decreased.


<span>20. </span>Answer is C.

If the concentration of reactant is increased in the system, according to the Le Chatelier's principle, the system tries to reduce the concentration of that reactant. So if NH₃(g) concentration is increased, then to be equilibrium, the forward reaction will be promoted. Then the concentration of N₂<span>(g) will increase.</span>
