What mass of propane, C₃H₈(g),Must be burned to supply 2580 kJ of heat? The standard enthalpy of combustion of propane at 298 K is -2220 kJ.mol^-¹

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the mass of propane needed, first calculate the moles of propane required using the enthalpy of combustion: 2580 kJ / 2220 kJ/mol = 1.162 mol. Then, convert moles to grams using the molar mass of propane (44.1 g/mol): 1.162 mol × 44.1 g/mol = 51.2 g.
