Question
On a 5 day wilderness expedition you'll need to heat 5.0 kg of water to the boiling point each day. The air temperature will average 25 °C. You have available canisters of compressed butane (C,H10) fuel, which you'll burn to heat the water. Each canister has 100. g of butane in it. What is the minimum number of fuel canisters you must bring? The standard heat of formation of butane at 25 °C is – 125.7 kJ/mol. You'll probably find other helpful data in the ALEKS Data resource.
