Explanation / Answer

The standard enthalpies of formation of the compounds are given as below.

Compound

Standard Enthalpy of formation, Hf (kJ/mol)

Propane, C3H8

-104.7

Carbon dioxide, CO2

-393.5

Water, H2O (l)

-285.8

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

C3H8 (g) + 5 O2 (g) --------> 3 CO2 (g) + 4 H2O (l)

The enthalpy of combustion is given as

Hc = n.Hf (products) - n.Hf(reactants) where n = number of moles

====> Hc = [(3 mole CO2)*Hf(CO2, g) + (4 mole H2O)*Hf(H2O, l)] – [(1 mole C3H8)*Hf(C3H8, g)] (standard enthalpy of formation of O2 = 0)

====> Hc = [(3 mole)*(-393.5 kJ/mol) + (4 mole)*(-285.8 kJ/mol)] – [(1 mole)*(-104.7 kJ/mol)]

====> Hc = [(-1180.5) + (-1143.2)] kJ – (-104.7 kJ) = -2323.7 kJ + 104.7 kJ = -2219.0 kJ (ans).
