Answer: The enthalpy change of the reaction is -1322.91 kJ
Explanation:
The chemical equation for the combustion of propane follows:
[tex]C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)[/tex]
The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:
[tex]\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta H^o_f_{(CO_2(g))})+(2\times \Delta H^o_f_{(H_2O(g))})]-[(1\times \Delta H^o_f_{(C_2H_4(g))})+(3\times \Delta H^o_f_{(O_2(g))})][/tex]
We are given:
[tex]\Delta H^o_f_{(H_2O(g))}=-241.818kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(O_2(g))}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(CO_2(g))}=-393.509kJ/mol\\\Delta H^o_f_{(C_2H_4(g))}=52.26kJ/mol[/tex]
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(2\times (-393.509))+(2\times (-241.818))]-[(1\times (52.26))+(3\times (0))]\\\\\Delta H^o_{rxn}=-1322.91kJ[/tex]
Hence, the enthalpy change of the reaction is -1322.91 kJ
