Answer:
4
Explanation:
The following equation, which depicts the combustion of propane, is given in this question as follows:
C3H8 + 02 → CO2 + H2O
However, this equation is not yet BALANCED because the number of atoms of each element is not the same on the reactant and product side. To balance the equation, we make use of COEFFICIENT to ensure that the number of atoms of each element on both side correlates.
The balanced equation is as follows:
C3H8 + 502 → 3CO2 + 4H2O
Therefore, the coefficient for water (H2O) after balancing the equation is 4.
Set up a proportion os V1/n1 = V2/n2. V is the volume, n is the amount in MOLES, not grams. Convert the CO_2 to moles, then solve and find that the amount of N_2 should be the same amount of moles. Then use the molar mass of N_2 (28.02 grams/mole) to convert that amount of moles into grams. That's your answer.
