2. Complete the table

A certain brand of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) contains the following composition:

Component % mole mole fraction mass fraction % mass

C4H10 77.86

C3H8 22.14

3. The heat capacity of ammonia defined as the amount of hat required to raise
temperature of a unit mass ammonia by 1o at constant pressure is given by the
expression

Cp in BTU/(lbm)( oF) = 0.487 + 2.29 x 10-4 T (oF)

Determine the expression for Cp in J/(g) (oC)
