Propane is often used as a home fuel in areas where natural gas is not available. When 3.00 grams of propane (C3H8 (g)) are burned in excess oxygen in a bomb calorimeter that has a total heat capacity of 32.7 kJ/K, the temperature of the calorimeter increases by 4.25 K.
a.) Calculate the heat of the calorimeter, qCal. (HINT: Units should be in kJ.)
b.) Calculate, by using the First Law of Thermodynamics, the heat of the reaction, qrxn.
c.) Assuming that ÎE â ÎH, calculate the standard enthalpy of combustion in (i) kilojoules per gram of propane, and (ii) kilojoules per mole of propane.
