A balloon carries 40.0 gallons of liquid propane (density 0.5005 g/L). What volume of CO2 and H2O gas is produced by the combustion of this propane? (C3H8 + 5O2>> 3CO2 + 4H2O)

Step 1
Balance chemical reaction is the representation of reactant and product in such a way that the number of moles of product and reactant is equal. The coefficient and number of atoms maintain the stoichiometry of a chemical reaction. If reaction is balanced then the number of atoms on the reactant side is exactly the same number of atoms present on the product side.

- utane, C4H10C4H10, is a component of natural gas that is used as fuel for cigarette lighters. The balanced equation of the complete combustion of butane is 2C4H10(g)+13O2(g)→8CO2(g)+10H2O(l)2C4H10(g)+13O2(g)→8CO2(g)+10H2O(l) At 1.00 atmatm and 23 ∘C∘C, what is the volume of carbon dioxide formed by the combustion of 4.00 gg of butane? Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forwardThe human body burns glucose (C6H₁2O6) for energy according to this chemical reaction: C6H12O6 +60₂-6CO₂ + 6H₂O The products of the reaction are carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O). Interestingly, all of the carbon dioxide and much of the water exits the body through the lungs: on every breath, the average person exhales 500. mL of air, which is typically enriched to 4% CO₂ and 5% water vapor by volume. In short, when a person loses weight by dieting, the weight that is lost actually departs his body as a gas, every time he exhales. Each kilogram of body fat lost requires exhaling about 2.9 kg of carbon dioxide. Calculate how many breaths it takes an average person to "exhale" 1.00 kg of fat. Round your answer to the nearest thousand. You'll need to know that the density of CO₂ is 2.0 kg/m³. 0 ☐ ☐x10 Xarrow_forwardAspirin (C9H8O4) is synthesized by reacting salicyclic acid (C7H6O3) with acetic anhydride (C4H6O3).
