Question

112g. of propane (C3 H8) is combusted mention the products write balanced chemical equation and calculate the mass of the carbon dioxide evolved in the reaction [H(A=1U), C(A=12H),O(A=16U)]​

Answer 1

Answer:

The molar masses of propane and water are 44 g/mol and 18 g/mol respectively.

44.0 grams of propane corresponds to 1 mole of propane.

According to the balance chemical equation, C

O(l),

1 mole of propane gives 4 moles of water.

Thus, the combustion of 44.0 g (1 mole) of propane will give 4 moles of water.

Mass of water obtained =4×18=72.0 g.
