Given:
Enthalpy of formation data
Hf(C3H8) = -103.8 KJ/Mol
Hf(CO2) = -393.5 kJ/mol
Hf (H2O) = -241.82 kJ/mol
To determine:
Enthalpy of combustion of C3H8
Explanation:
The combustion reaction is:
C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O
ΔHcombustion = ∑nHf(products) - ∑nHf(reactants)
ΔHc = [3(Hf CO2) + 4(Hf H2O)] - [Hf(C3H8) + 5Hf(O2)]
= [3(-393.5) + 4(-241.82)] -[-103.8 + 5(0)] = -2044 kJ/mol
Ans: (a) -2044 kJ/mol
