Q: A sample of propane ($$\mathrm{C_3H_8}) $$weighing 88.14 g is combusted in excess oxygen. How many liters of $$\mathrm{CO_2$}$$ are produced at STP? (Molar mass of $$\mathrm{C_3H_8} = 44.097 g/$$mol, 1 mol gas at STP = 22.4 L)

$$\displaystyle \frac{88.14}{44.097} \times 3 \times 22.4 = 134.4 L$$

Q: Which equation would you use to calculate the heat required to raise the temperature of a liquid without a phase change?

$$q = m \times c \times \Delta T$$
