Answer 1

i hope u get..if any doubt ask me.......bye

Answer 2

100 moles of carbon dioxide will be produced.

Combustion reaction refers to burning of compound in presence of oxygen. The reaction is accompanied by heat and light.

Propane is an alkane, it's combustion reaction is given below-

C3H8 + 5O2 --> 3CO2 + 4H2O

C3H8 represents propane, O2 represents oxygen, CO2 is carbon dioxide and H2O is water.

In the equation, 1 mole of propane gives 3 moles of carbon dioxide.

33.3 moles of propane will give - 3*33.3

= 99.9 moles of carbon dioxide

In whole number, it will be 100 moles of carbon dioxide.
