Propane gas (c3h8) burns completely in the presence of oxygen gas (o2) to yield carbon dioxide gas (co2) and water vapor (h2o). write a balanced equation for this reaction. assuming that all volume measurements occur at the same temperature and pressure, how many liters of oxygen will be required to completely burn 0.700 l of propane gas? assuming that all volume measurements occur at the same temperature and pressure, how many liters of carbon dioxide gas will be produced in the reaction? assuming that all volume measurements occur at the same temperature and pressure, how many liters of water vapor will be produced in the reaction

These are four questions and four complete answers

Answers:

1) C₃H₈ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 3CO₂(g) + 4 H₂O (g)

2) 3.50 liter O₂

3) 2.10 liter CO₂

4) 2.80 liter H₂O

Explanation:

Question 1: Write a balanced equation for this reaction.

1) Word equation (given)

Propane gas (C₃H₈) + oxygen gas (O₂) → carbon dioxide gas (CO₂) + water vapor (H₂O).

2) Chemical equation

C₃H₈ (g) + O₂ (g) → CO₂(g) + H₂O (g)

3) Balance

       C₃H₈ (g) + O₂ (g) → 3CO₂(g) + H₂O (g)

       C₃H₈ (g) + O₂ (g) → 3CO₂(g) + 4 H₂O (g)

       C₃H₈ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 3CO₂(g) + 4 H₂O (g) ← balanced equation

Now all the atoms are balanced (3 carbon atoms, 8 hydrogen atoms, and 10 oxygen atoms, on each side).

Question 2: Assuming that all volume measurements occur at the same temperature and pressure, how many liters of oxygen will be required to completely burn 0.700 L of propane gas?

Since, all volume measurements occur at the same temperature and pressure, you conclude, by ideal gas assumption and Avogadro's principle, that the mole ratios are equal to the volume ratios, and you can use the stoichiometric coefficients given by the chemical equation:

The answer must show 3 significant figures (3.50).

Question 3. Assuming that all volume measurements occur at the same temperature and pressure, how many liters of carbon dioxide gas will be produced in the reaction?

Based on the same assumptions, ideal gas behavior and Avogadro's principle, use the stoichiometric coefficients given by the chemical equation:

The answer must show 3 significant figures (2.10)

Question 4. Assuming that all volume measurements occur at the same temperature and pressure, how many liters of water vapor will be produced in the reaction

Based on the same assumptions, ideal gas behavior and Avogadro's principle, use the stoichiometric coefficients given by the chemical equation:

The answer must show 3 significant figures (2.80)

because of all the things that happen around the us, many people get into arguments which sadly could get physical, but we should actually make a change for that.
