Consider the combustion of propane: A balloon is being inflated to its full extent by heating the air inside it. In the final stages of this process, the volume of the balloon changes from L to L by the addition of J energy as heat. Assume that all the heat comes from the combustion of propane. What mass of propane must be burned to furnish this amount of energy assuming the heat transfer process is 50.% efficient?

5162.539 g

Explanation:

Let assume that the volume changes from to .

And if the addition of energy as heat is

Then; we can say that the total heat that is taken by the ballon =

The total heat supplied = total heat coming from the combustion of propane

∴

If 2221 kJ is produced as a result of the combustion of 44.1 g

Then;

will produce

= 5162.539 g

Thus, the mass of the propane that must be burned = 5162.539 g

answer:

the reaction is type of combination reaction.

explanation:

on the product side, there are 2 molecules of bonded to fe   which means one atom of fe are combined two molecules of . so, balanced chemical equation becomes :

this reaction follows the reaction type of combination reaction. a combination reaction is defined as chemical reaction in which reactants combines together to form a single product.
