C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) ⟶ 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g) H = -2220 kJ If 865.9 g of H2O is produced during this combustion, how much heat is generated? Do not include the negative sign in your answer. Express the answer to the nearest whole number, or round to the nearest ones place. The molar mass of H2O is 18.02 g/mol.

Answer:

3 × 10⁴ kJ

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced thermochemical equation

C₃H₈(g) + 5 O₂(g) ⟶ 3 CO₂(g) + 4 H₂O(g) ΔH = -2220 kJ

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 865.9 g of H₂O

The molar mass of H₂O is 18.02 g/mol.

865.9 g × 1 mol/18.02 g = 48.05 mol

Step 3: Calculate the heat produced when 48.05 moles of H₂O are produced

According to the thermochemical equation, 2220 kJ of heat are evolved when 4 moles of H₂O are produced.

48.05 mol × 2220 kJ/4 mol = 2.667 × 10⁴ kJ ≈ 3 × 10⁴ kJ
