Liquid propane (C3H8) is a common heating fuel in rural Nevada where there is no access to a natural gas pipeline. An average home will use roughly 1000 gallons of liquid propane for heating during a year if this is the only source of heating. Given that a gallon is 3.79 liters and the density of liquid propane is 0.493g/cm3, how many grams of carbon dioxide are produced in the combustion of 1000 gallons of propane needed to heat a home? (Note: You can calculate this to 3 significant figures.)

Methane gas is burned with 30 percent excess air. This fuel enters a steady- flow combustor at 0.8 atm and 25oC and is mixed with the air. The products of combustion leave this reactor at 0.8 atm and 1600 K. Determine the equilibrium composition of the products of combustion and the amount of heat released by this combustion in kJ/kmol methane. Use data from the tables CH 25°C CO2, H3O chamber NO.
