Propane (C3H8) reacts with 400% theoretical air in a burner in which the reactants and products arrive and leave at 25℃ and 1 atm pressure (see Figure Q1). The surroundings temperature is also at 25℃. Answer the following questions: a) Write the chemical reaction for this combustion process b) How much heat is released in the combustor during this process? c) Which fraction of the heat calculated in part ii of this question has been transferred to the environment? Briefly explain your reasons. d) Calculate the mole fractions of H2O, CO2 and N2 in the exhaust gases
