Enthalpy of Combustion
Question

When 5 litres of a gas mixture of methane and propane is perfectly combusted at 0°C and 1 atmosphere, 16 litres of oxygen at the same temperature and pressure is consumed. The amount of heat released from this combustion in kJΔHcomb. CH4=890 kJ mol-1,ΔHcomb. C3H8=2220 kJ mol-1is

Difficult
Solution

CH4+2O2CO2+2H2O C3H8+5O23CO2+4H2O CH4+C3H8=522.4=0.22moles O2=1622.4=0.71moles 2 x+(0.22-x) 5=0.71 x=0.13  Heat liberated =0.13×890+0.09×2220                            =316 kJ
