Question

14. Which of the following is produced when propane (C3H8) is combusted completely? (2 points)

H20
СО
O2
H2

Answer 1

The following is produced when propane (C₃H₈) is combusted completely : H₂O

Further explanation

Complete combustion of Hydrocarbons with Oxygen will be obtained by CO₂ and H₂O compounds.

If O₂ is insufficient there will be incomplete combustion produced by CO and H and O

Hydrocarbon combustion reactions (especially alkanes)
`\large {\boxed {\bold {C_nH _ (_2_n _ + _ 2_) + \frac {3n + 1} {2} O_2 \Rightarrow nCO_2 + (n + 1) H_2O}}}`

For combustion of propane C₃H₈ (n = 3) ⇒ completely(excess O₂) :

C₃H₈+5O₂⇒3CO₂+4H₂O

The products of combustion : CO₂ and H₂O
