Question

The propane fuel (C3H8) used in gas barbeques burns according to the thermochemical equation:

C3H8(g) + 5 O2(g) ¡ 3 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(g) ∆Hr°xn = -2044kJ

If a pork roast must absorb 1.6 * 103 kJ to fully cook, and if only 10% of the heat produced by the barbeque is actually absorbed by the roast, what mass of CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere during the grilling of the pork roast?
