Thermochemistry
Thermochemistry can be considered as a branch of thermodynamics that deals with the connections between warmth, work, and various types of energy, formed because of different synthetic and actual cycles. Thermochemistry describes the energy changes that …
Exergonic Reaction
The term exergonic is derived from the Greek word in which ‘ergon’ means work and exergonic means ‘work outside’. Exergonic reactions releases work energy. Exergonic reactions are different from exothermic reactions, the one that releases only heat energ…

Chapter 6, Problem 91E

Some automobiles and buses have been equipped to bum propane (C3H8). Compare the amounts of energy that can be obtained per gram of C3H8(g) and per gram of gasoline, assuming that gasoline is pure octane, C8H18(l). (See Example 7-11.) Look up the boiling point of propane. What disadvantages are there to using propane instead of gasoline as a fuel?
