Propane burns in air according to the equation: C₃H₈(g) + 5O₂(g) → 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(g)
What volume of CO₂would be formed if 5.00 L of propane burns, assuming that all of the gases are under the same conditions?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the balanced chemical equation, 1 mole of propane produces 3 moles of CO2. Since the gases are under the same conditions, their volumes are directly proportional to the moles. Therefore, burning 5.00 L of propane produces 3 times that volume in CO2, which is 15.0 L.
