Question

Combustion reactions are a notable source of carbon dioxide in the environment. Using the following
balanced equation, how many grams of carbon dioxide are formed when 100.00 g of propane (C3H8) is
burned? Express your answer to the correct number of significant figures and you must show all work in
the form of dimensional analysis as shown in Lesson 4.

Show molar mass for C3H8

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1

The balanced chemical reaction for the combustion of propane is as follows:

C3H8 +  5O2    3CO2  +  4H2O

The stoichiometry of the balanced chemical reaction states that one mole of propane reacts with five moles of oxygen to form three moles of carbon dioxide and four moles of water.
