Propane burns according to the following reaction:

C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O

What volume of carbon dioxide is produced if 25.0 m3 of propane at atmospheric pressure is combusted?


Sagot :

Answer:

Propane burns in air according to the following equation:

C

3

H

8

+5O

+4H

O.

1 mole of propane combines with 5 moles of oxygen.

Volume is directly proportional to the number of moles.

1 cm

of propane will combine with 5 cm

Only 20% of air contains oxygen. So 1000 cm

of air contains 1000cm

The volume of propane that is consumed on using 1000 cm

Reaction

C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

Avogadro: at the same T and P, the ratio of gas volume = the ratio of gas moles  

volume of CO₂ = 3/1 x 25 = 75 m³
