What volume of propane (c3h8) is required to produce 165 liters of water according to the following reaction? (all gases are at the same temperature and pressure.) propane (c3h8) (g) + oxygen(g)carbon dioxide (g) + water(g)

We need 41.2 L of propane

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

volume of H2O = 165 L

Step 2:  The balanced equation

C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g)

Step 3: Calculate moles of H2O

1 mol = 22.4 L

165 L = 7.37 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of propane

For 1 mol C3H8 we need 5 moles O2 to produce 3 moles CO2 and 4 moles H2O

For 7.37 moles H2O we need 7.37/4 = 1.84 moles propane

Step 5: Calculate volume of propane

1 mol = 22.4 L

1.84 moles = 41.2 L

We need 41.2 L of propane

1 is the answer to this problem

answer : (a) volume of the gas = 8.67 ×   l

                (b) second virial coefficient b = -1.21226 l/mole

solution :   given,     t = 300k

                                p = 20atm

                                z = 0.86

                                n = 8.2 mmoles = 8.2 × moles

                                r =   0.082 l atm/k/mol

        find,     (a) volume of gas   and (b) second virial coefficient b at 300k.

formula used :            

                          and            

(a)            

                    = \times 0.082\times 300}{20}[/tex]

                    = 8.67 ×   l

(b)      

                    = (0.00867-1) × 8.659

                    = - 8.5839 l/mole
