Propane (C3H8), a common fuel, reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water according to the equation below: C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O If a propane heater burns 38.95 g C3H8, it consumes

0.8833 mole of C3H8

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of C₃H₈ (Propane) = 38.95 gram

Computation:

Molar mass of C = 12.01

Molar mass of H = 1.008

Molar mass of C₃H₈ (Propane) = 3(12.01) + 8(1.008)

Molar mass of C₃H₈ (Propane) = 36.03 + 8.064

Molar mass of C₃H₈ (Propane) = 44.094

Number of mol in 38.95 gram Propane = Mass / Molar mass

Number of mol in 38.95 gram Propane = 38.95 / 44.094

Number of mol in 38.95 gram Propane = 0.88334

aquifers are bounded above and below by impermeable rock. the driving force of groundwater movement in confined aquifers is pressure, rather than gravity.

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
