LP gas burns according to the exothermic reaction:
C3H8( g) + 5 O2( g)¡3 CO2( g) + 4 H2O( g)
ΔH °rxn = -2044 kJ
What mass of LP gas is necessary to heat 1.5 L of water from room
temperature (25.0 °C) to boiling (100.0 °C)? Assume that during
heating, 15% of the heat emitted by the LP gas combustion goes
to heat the water. The rest is lost as heat to the surroundings.
