The Propaniacs need to figure out how many grams of CO2 they are emitting during a show. When a hydrocarbon such as propane (C3H8) is combusted, it produces water vapor and CO2 given in the reaction below: C 3 H 8 + 5 O 2 ⟶ 3 C O 2 + 4 H 2 O If 408 g of propane are burned, how many grams of CO2 are produced? Round to the nearest whole number.
