270.2 Calculate the molar enthalpy of combustion, ∆Hºcomb , of propane and the standard molar enthalpy of formation, ∆Hºf , of propane gas. |
The combustion reaction of propane is given by:
C3H8 (g) + 5O2 (g) → 3CO2 (g) + 4H2O (l)
No. of moles of Propane = Mass/Molar Mass
= 1/44 = 0.023 mole
Molar Enthalpy of Combustion of propane,
Standard Molar Enthalpy of Formation of propane =
