Answer:
Mass of CO₂ produced = 299.64 g
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
Mass of CO₂ produced = ?
Mass of propane (C₃H₈) = 100.0 g
Solution:
Chemical equation:
C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O
Number of moles of propane:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 100.0 g/ 44.1 g/mol
Number of moles = 2.27 mol
Now we will compare the moles of propane and carbon dioxide.
C₃H₈ : CO₂
1 : 3
2.27 : 3/1×2.27 = 6.81 mol
Mass of CO₂:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 6.81 mol × 44 g/mol
Mass = 299.64 g
