The heat of combustion of propane, c3h8, is 2220 kj/mol. the specific heat of water is 4.184 j/g·°c. mrs. s lives in the country and uses propane to heat things. how many litresof propane at stp must be burned to raise the temperature of 1.00 l of water from 20.0°c to 100.0°c so that mrs. s can make herself a nice cup of tea? assume that no heat is lost to the surroundings and remember that the density of water is 1.00 g/ml. and if propane costs 88.9 cents per litre, how much did the propane cost to heat the water?

(a) 3.38 Litres  (b)  $3‬.00

Explanation:

Q=Quantity of Heat required to make  the cup of tea

Q = mcΔФ

   m = mass of water      

    c=  Specific capacity of water, 4.184 J/g/° C

    p = density of water, 1g/mL

    v =  volume of water for tea, v= 1L or 1000mL

    ΔФ= Change in Temperature , T₂ -T₁, T₂= 100°C,  T₁=20°C

m = 1 g/mL x 1000 mL

   =  1000g

Q= 1000 x 4.184 (100-20)

  = 1000 x 4.184 x 80

  = 334,720‬J

Number of moles of propane required =  Q/ heat of combustion

                                                               =  334,720‬/ 2220000

                                                                = 0.150774 moles

At STP, 1 mole of every gas occupies 22.4 dm³

0.150774 moles of propane will occupy = 0.150774 x  22.4

                                                                  =  3.3773376 ‬dm³

                                                                   = 3.3773376 Litres

                                                                   ≈ 3.38 Litres

If the cost per litre of propane is 88.9cent or $0.889

The total cost of propane for the tea will be =  0.889 x  3.38

                                                                         = $3.00482

                                                                         ≈ $3‬
