Question

Calculate the heat of combustion (kJ) of propane, C3H8 using the listed standard enthalpy of reaction data:
C3H8(g)+5O2(g)3CO2(g)+4H2O(g)
3C(s)+4H2(g)C3H8(g)ΔH/kJ=103.8
C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g)ΔH/kJ=393.5
H2(g)+1/2O2(g)H2O(g)ΔH/kJ=241.8

Solution

The correct option is A -2043.9
ΔHcombustion=4ΔHfH2O+3ΔHfCO25ΔHfO2ΔHfC3H8
ΔHcombustion= = 4241.833393.50+103.8=2043.9kJ/mol
Hence, option A is correct
