A car has been fitted with an internal combustion engine that uses propane as a fuel.
C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g)
What is the maximum work that you can obtain from 1.00 kg of propane, C3H8? Suppose the car is driving uphill. What is the maximum height, in miles, that the car could go to, assuming that the car’s mass is 4000. lb? The work done in moving a mass, m, up to a eight h is mgh, where g is the constant acceleration of gravity (equal to 9.81 m/s2).
