The balanced chemical reaction:
C3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O
We are given the amount of the carbon dioxide to be produced. This will be the starting point of our calculations.
<span>43.62 L CO2 ( 1 mol CO2 / 22.4 L CO2 ) (5 mol O2 / 3 mol CO2 ) (
22.4 L O2 / 1 mol O2) = 72.7 L O2</span>
Benzene is more volatile.
