Thermochemical Equations
8. Thermochemistry / Thermochemical Equations / Problem 5
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?
