Answer

$T_{sat}=-42.1^{\circ}C$ $Q_{abs}=1242.76kJ$

Work Step by Step

From table A-3 the properties of propane at $1atm$ $T_{sat}=-42.1^{\circ}C$ $\rho=581\frac{kg}{m^3}$ $h_{fg}=427.8\frac{kJ}{kg}$ $m=\rho V=(581\frac{kg}{m^3})(0.005m^3)=2.905kg$ $Q_{abs}=mh_{fg}=2.905kg*427.8\frac{kJ}{kg}=1242.76kJ$
