Question
The enthalpy change for a chemical reaction is the sum of the energy consumed in breaking bonds and the energy released during bond formation. One way to determine the overall energy change for a chemical reaction is to apply Hess’s law to add together a group of reactions which can be arranged such that the chemical equations, when combined, give the overall equation we are trying to characterize.
 
 
a. Write a balanced chemical equation for the combustion of gaseous propane in gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and liquid water.

 
   C3​H8​(g)+    O2​(g) ---->CO2​(g)+     H2​O(g)
 
b. Combine the following equations to determine the enthalpy change for the combustion of 1 mole of propane. Assume that solid carbon is graphite.
 
3C(s,graphite)+4H2​(g)--->C3​H8​(g)
ΔHo = -103.8 kJ/mol
 
C(s,graphite)+O2​(g)--->CO2​(g)
ΔHo= -393.5 kJ/mol
 
H2​(g)+1/2​ O2​(g)--->H2​O(g)
ΔHo= -285.8 kJ/mol

c. The average propane cylinder for a residential grill holds approximately 18 kg of propane. How much energy (in kJ) is released by the combustion of 18.00 kilograms of propane in sufficient oxygen?
