The standard enthalpy of propane (C3H8) is -103.8 kJ/mol. Find the gross and net heat released when 1 kg of propane is burned.
C3H8 + 5O2 -----> 3CO2 + 4H2O
H = Hproducts-Hreactants
= 3HCo2 + 4H H2O - HC3H8
= 3*-393.5 + 4*-285.3 -(-103.8)
= -1180.5 -1141.2 +103.8 = -2217.9kj
1 mole of propane combustion to gives -2217.9Kj
44gm of C3H8 combution to gives - 2217.9 kj
1000gm of C3H8 combution to gives = -2217.9*1000/44 = 50406.8 KJ
