ANSWER:

Problem 104EMany home barbeques are fueled with propane gas . What mass of carbon dioxide(in kg ) is produced upon the complete combustion of 18.9 L of propane (approximatecontents of one 5 -gallon tank) Assume that the density of the liquid propane in the tank is0.621 g / mL. (Hint: Begin by writing a balanced equation for the combustion reaction.) Step by step solutionStep 1 of 2The combustion reaction of the propane is as follows.From the given,Volume of propane = 18.9 LDensity of propane = 0.621 g/mL.Let’s calculate the mass propane .Hence, the mass of propane is 11736.9 g.
