Problem

Propane combusts according to the equation C3H8(g)+5 O2(g)→3 CO2(g)+4 H2O(l);  ΔH∘=−2.22×103 kJ\mathrm{C_3H_8(g)} + 5\,\mathrm{O_2(g)} \rightarrow 3\,\mathrm{CO_2(g)} + 4\,\mathrm{H_2O(l)};\; \Delta H^\circ = -2.22 \times 10^{3}\,\text{kJ} per mole of propane. If 15.0 g15.0\,\text{g} of propane are burned completely at standard conditions, what is the enthalpy change for the process? (a) −2.22×103 kJ-2.22 \times 10^{3}\,\text{kJ} (b) +7.55×102 kJ+7.55 \times 10^{2}\,\text{kJ} (c) −7.55×102 kJ-7.55 \times 10^{2}\,\text{kJ} (d) −1.11×103 kJ-1.11 \times 10^{3}\,\text{kJ}
