Question

Propane (c3h8), a common fuel, reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water according to the equation below. c3h8 5o2 → 3co2 4h2o how many grams of oxygen are required to produce 37.15 g co2? 37.15 g co2 = g o2

Answer 1

The amount of oxygen will be 22.29 gm required to produce 37.15 g co₂.

What is a chemical reaction?

One or more compounds, known as reactants, are transformed into one or more distinct substances, known as products. Such a process is known as a chemical reaction.

Given reaction;

$\rm C_3h_8 +5O_2 }\rightarrow 3CO_2 +4H_2O$

The quantity of oxygen is x and the quantity of carbon dioxide is y then the ratio of their composition is found as;

5x=3y

5x=37.15

x=3×37.15/5

x=22.29 gm

Hence the amount of oxygen will be 22.29 gm
