C3H8 (propane) undergoes combustion to produce water and carbon (IV) oxide according to equation below C3H8(g) + 5 O2(g) ----> 3 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(l)
calculate the moles of C3H8 used mole = mass/molar mass molar mass of C3H8 = ( 12x3 )+( 1 x 8)=44 g/mol moles of C3H8= 5g/ 44 g/mol= 0.114 moles by use of mole ratio between C3H8 to H2O which is 1:4 therefore the mole of water= 0.114 x4=0.456 moles mass of water =moles of water x molar mass of water
According to Kinetic Molecular Theory, an increase in temperature will increase the average kinetic energy of the molecules. As the particles move faster, they will likely hit the edge of the container more often.
