Answer 1

• Take a look at the steps below to see how to balance this equation. Let's start by writing the unbalanced equation given the information.

Unbalanced Equation : C₃H₈ (g) + O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + H₂O (g) ,

Start by Balancing the Carbons : C₃H₈ (g) + O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + H₂O (g)

Now let's balance the Hydrogen : C₃H₈ (g) + O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (g)

Balancing the Oxygen : C₃H₈ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (g)

Balanced Equation : C₃H₈ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (g)

• Let's apply dimensional analysis here,

0.7 L propane × (5 liters Oxygen / 1 liter Propane) = 3.5 Liters of Oxygen

•  Similarly we can identify the liters of carbon dioxide produced in the reaction,

0.7 L propane × (3 liters Carbon Dioxide / 1 liter Propane) = 2.1 Liters of Carbon Dioxide

• 0.7 L propane × (4 liter water vapor / 1 liter propane ) = 2.8 Liters of Water Vapor
