Question

For the complete combustion of 1 mL of C3H8, the volume of CO2 formed will be

Answer 1

Answer:

3mL of CO₂ is formed during complete combustion of 1mL of propane.

Explanation:

Given that,

  volume of C₃H₈ = 1mL

the combustion of propane is given by,

        C₃H₈ + 5O₂  →  3CO₂ + 4H₂O

so, 1 mole of  C₃H₈ gives 3 moles of CO₂

⇒        22.4L C₃H₈ gives 3×22.4L CO₂

⇒              1L C₃H₈ gives 3L CO₂

⇒            1mL C₃H₈ gives 3mL CO₂

Hence, the volume of CO₂  is 3mL
