Consider the combustion of propane:
a. Balance the reaction.
b. Divide all coefficients by the coefficient on propane, so that you have the reaction for the combustion of 1 mol of propane.
c. ∆Hrxn for the combustion of one mole of propane is −2219 kJ. What mass of propane would you need to burn to generate 5. 0MJ of heat?
d. If propane costs about $0.67/L and has a density of 2.01 g/cm3, how much would it cost to generate 5.0 MJ of heat by burning propane?

- A typical fat in the body is glyceryl trioleate, C57H104O6. When it is metabolized in the body, it combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and 3.022104 kJ of heat per mole of fat. (a) Write a balanced thermochemical equation for the metabolism of fat. (b) How many kilojoules of energy must be evolved in the form of heat if you want to get rid of five pounds of this fat by combustion? (c) How many nutritional calories is this? (1 nutritional calories =1103 calories)arrow_forwardA beaker of water at 40C (on the left in the drawing) and a beaker of ice water at 0°C are placed side by side in an insulated container. After some time has passed, the temperature of the water in the beaker on the left is 30°C and the temperature of the ice water is still 0°C. Describe what is happening in each beaker (a) on the molecular level and (b) in terms of the second law of thermodynamicsarrow_forwardYou wish to heat water to make coffee. How much heat (in joules) must be used to raise the temperature of 0.180 kg of tap water (enough for one cup of coffee) from 30C to 96C (near the ideal brewing temperature)? Assume the specific heat is that of pure water, 4.18 J/(gC).arrow_forward
