Question
### Combustion of Hydrocarbons and Carbon Dioxide Production

**Overview:** 
The combustion of hydrocarbons such as decane (\(C_{10}H_{22}\)) results in the production of carbon dioxide, a known greenhouse gas. These gases trap the Sun's heat within Earth's atmosphere, consequently raising the planet's average temperature. This has sparked considerable international discourse on the regulation of carbon dioxide emissions.

---

**Exercise 1:** 
**Task:** 
Write a balanced chemical equation, detailing physical state symbols, for the combustion of liquid decane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water.

**Input Box:** 
[Text box for student to input the chemical equation]

---

**Exercise 2:** 
**Scenario:** 
Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas produced when 0.360 kg of decane burns in air under a pressure of 1 atm and at a temperature of 13.0 °C. Provide your answer to three significant digits.

**Calculation Box:** 
[Text box for student to input their calculated volume in liters]

**Units:** ☐ L

**Additional Features:**

- **Tools:**
    - A calculator icon indicates a tool available to assist with calculations.
    - A graph icon might represent graphical tools for visualization.
    - An atomic symbol, possibly suggesting access to a periodic table.

- **Optional Buttons:**
    - A question mark implies access to further help or instructions.
    - A reset symbol allows students to clear their inputs and start afresh.
