Calculate the value of ΔG° (in kJ) for the combustion of 1 mole of propane (C₃H₈) with molecular oxygen to form carbon dioxide and gaseous water, using the values of ΔG° (in kJ/mol) given below.

ΔG° (C₃H₈(g)) = -20  
ΔG° (CO₂(g)) = -390  
ΔG° (H₂O(ℓ)) = -238  

Enter value as an integer (value ± 2).

Expert Solution
Step 1

The combustion reaction of propane can be written as,

=> C3H8 (g) + O2 (g) -------> CO2 (g) + H2O (g) 

Balancing : Since we have 3 C in LHS. Hence making it 3 in RHS also.

=> C3H8 (g) + O2 (g) -------> 3 CO2 (g) + H2O (g) 

Since we have 8 H in LHS. Hence making it 8 in RHS also.

=> C3H8 (g) + O2 (g) -------> 3 CO2 (g) + 4 H2O (g) 

Now the number of O in RHS is 10. Hence making it 10 in LHS also.

=> C3H8 (g) + 5 O2 (g) -------> 3 CO2 (g) + 4 H2O (g) 

Since all the elements are in equal number in both side of the reaction now. Hence the reaction is now balanced.
