10.3125 grams of carbon dioxide will be formed.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

C₃H₈ + 5 O₂→ 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles participate in the reaction:

C₃H₈: 1 mole O₂: 5 molesCO₂: 3 moles H₂O: 4 moles

Being the molar mass of the compounds:

C₃H₈: 44 g/mole O₂: 32 g/moleCO₂: 44 g/moleH₂O: 18 g/mole

then by stoichiometry of the reaction, the following amounts of mass participate in the reaction:

C₃H₈: 1 mole* 44 g/mole = 44 gO₂: 5 moles* 32 g/mole= 160 gCO₂: 3 moles* 44 g/mole= 132 gH₂O: 4 moles* 18 g/mole= 72 g

The limiting reagent is one that is consumed first in its entirety, determining the amount of product in the reaction. When the limiting reagent is finished, the chemical reaction will stop.

To determine the limiting reagent, it is possible to use a simple rule of three as follows: If by reaction stoichiometry 44 grams of propane react with 160 grams of oxygen, 7.2 grams of propane react with how much mass of oxygen?

$mass of oxygen=\frac{7.2 grams of propane*160 grams of oxygen}{44 grams of propane}$

mass of oxygen= 26.18 grams

But 26.18 moles of O₂ are not available, 12.5 grams are available. Since you have less mass than you need to react with 7.2 grams of propane, oxygen O₂ will be the limiting reagent.

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry of the reaction 160 grams of oxygen form 132 grams of carbon dioxide, 12.5 grams of oxygen will form how much mass of carbon dioxide?

$mass of carbon dioxide=\frac{12.5 grams of oxygen*132 grams of carbon dioxide}{160 grams of oxygen}$

mass of carbon dioxide= 10.3125 grams

10.3125 grams of carbon dioxide will be formed.

Polyethylene is a strong synthetic polymer that can be used to make toys and bottles. this makes plastics which are important also to people but sometimes it lead to harmful environmental effects such as global warming if these plastics are burned.
