Question
Combustion of hydrocarbons such as pentane (C,H,2) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's
atmosphere can trap the Sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the Earth. For this reason there has been a great deal of
international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide.
1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the
combustion of liquid pentane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water.
x10
2. Suppose 0.200 kg of pentane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and
a temperature of 17.0 °C. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is
produced. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
