Problem

A cooking gas cylinder is assumed to contain 11.211.2 kg isobutane having heat of combustion −2658-2658 kJ mol−1mol^{-1}. If a family needs 15×10315 \times 10^3 kJ energy per day for cooking, how long a cylinder can last. Also if 30%30\% heat is lost due to incomplete combustion, then how long would it take to last.
