Avery Bender · Answer 1

Propane on complete combustion given carbon dioxide and water.

The balance reaction of this process is shown below:

C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O

(1 mole) (3 mole)

From the above balanced equation it can be seen that

Complete combustion of 1 mole of propane generates 3 moles of CO2

∴ Complete combustion of 1 moles of propane will generate 30 moles of CO2
