Propane, a colourless, easily liquefied, gaseous hydrocarbon (compound of carbon and hydrogen), the third member of the paraffin series following methane and ethane. The chemical formula for propane is C3H8. It is separated in large quantities from natural gas, light crude oil, and oil-refinery gases and is commercially available as liquefied propane or as a major constituent of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).


As with ethane and other paraffin hydrocarbons, propane is an important raw material for the ethylene petrochemical industry. The decomposition of propane in hot tubes to form ethylene also yields another important product, propylene. From propylene such organic chemicals as acetone and propylene glycol are derived. The oxidation of propane to such compounds of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen as acetaldehyde is also of commercial interest.

Although a gas at ordinary atmospheric pressure, propane has a boiling point of -42.1° C (−43.8° F) and thus is readily liquefied under elevated pressures. It therefore is transported and handled as a liquid in cylinders and tanks. In this form, alone or mixed with liquid butane, it has great importance as a fuel for domestic and industrial uses and for internal-combustion engines.

What volume in liters, l, of solution should sven prepare if he wants to make a 5.00 m solution using 210.0 grams, g, of sodium
weeeeeb [17]

To make a 5.00 M solution using 210.0 grams, g, of sodium chloride, NaCl, we will use the formula of volume of solution in liters is equal to mole of solute per molarity of solution, which is 0.718 L.

Molarity (M) refers to the amount of a substance in a specific volume of solution. It is defined as the moles of a solute per liters of a solution. Molarity is also known as the molar concentration of a solution.

Molarity  is given by the quotient,

Molarity = moles of solute/volume of solution in liters.

Now in order to get the molarity of the solution, we have to divide the moles of solute over the liters of solution. Since we are given the mass of the solute, we must first convert the mass of NaCl into moles with the help of the molar mass of NaCl as a conversion factor.

210 NaCl x ( 1 mol NaCl/ 58.44g NaCl) = 3.59 mol NaCl.

We already have the molarity of the solution that is 5.00 M. So the solution to find out the volume will be,

Volume of solution in liters = mole of solute/ molarity of solution,

That is 3.59 mol NaCl / 5M = 0.718 L
