(a) Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of propane gas. (b) Calculate the volume of air at 25 C and 1.00 atmosphere that is needed to completely combust 25.0 grams of propane. Assume that air is 21.0 percent O2 by volume. (Hint: we will see how to do this calculation in a later chapter on gasesfor now use the information that 1.00 L of air at 25 C and 1.00 atm contains 0.275 g of 2 per liter.) (c) The heat of combustion of propane is 2,219.2 kJ/mol. Calculate the heat of formation, Hf of propane given that Hf of H2O(l)=285.8 kJ/mol and Hf of CO2(g)=393.5 kJ/mol.

NITROGEN MOLECULES It is difficult to think that some good things come from the powerful bust of electrical energy. During thunderstorms, the nitrogen and oxygen from the air react to form oxides of nitrogen. These oxides dissolve in the rain and are absorbed by the soil, fertilized with nitrogen. According to studies, more than 50% of usable nitrogen is generated from the atmosphere in this process. Explain the process that happens to nitrogen and oxygen during a thunderstorm in terms of chemical bonding. What is the benefit of this bond? (P) 3. ALLOYS Metal alloys are created through metallic bonding. Two examples of alloys are brass (zinc and copper) and steel (carbon and iron). Metallic bonding is utilized for its conductive properties to help transfer electricity throughout a house via copper wiring. Metallic bonds also exist between cast iron, which is made up of iron and carbon, bronze (Cu &Sn), stainless steel (Fe, Cr, C, In), and so on. It is used mostly to improve the…arrow_forward
