Propane (C3H8) is one of the gases that is used as fuel gas. Propane has a normal boiling point of –42.0°C and its enthalpy of vaporization is 14.79 kJ/mol. Calculate the heat that must be added to convert 300 g of propane into vapor and determine the volume of this propane gas occupies at 765 torr and 40.0°C.
If the energy from the reaction of HNO2 shown below is used to create NO2, how many moles of NO2 can be created per mole of HNO2? The energy needed to create 1.00 mol of NO2 is 122.92 kJ.
HNO2(aq) + H+(aq) + e- → NO(g) + 2 H2O(l) E° = 0.98 V
Calculate the mass of CO2 emitted by the combustion of pentane (C5H12) to generate 5.96 x 102 kJ of heat. The balanced reaction is shown below:
C5H12(g) + 8 O2(g) → 5 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(l) ΔH°rxn = –3509 kJ
Butane (C4H10) used in a grill burns according to the following reaction:
2 C4H10( g) + 13 O2(g) → 8 CO2(g) + 10 H2O(g) ΔH°rxn = -5756.6 kJ
A certain piece of steak needs to absorb 539 kJ to fully cook. Calculate the mass of CO2 emitted if only 15% of the heat produced is actually absorbed by the steak.
The propane fuel (C3H8) used in gas barbeques burns according to the thermochemical equation:
C3H8(g) + 5 O2(g) → 3 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(g); ΔH°rxn = -2044 kJ
If a pork roast must absorb 1.6 x 103 kJ to be fully cooked, and if only 10% of the heat produced by the barbeque is absorbed by the roast, what mass of CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere during the grilling of the pork roast?
Charcoal is primarily carbon. Determine the mass of CO2 produced by burning enough carbon (in the form of charcoal) to produce 5.00×102 kJ of heat.
C(s) + O2( g) → CO2( g) ΔH°rxn = −393.5 kJ
