The combustion of propane (c3h8) in the presence of excess oxygen yields co2 and h2o: c3h8 (g) + 5 o2 (g) ? 3 co2 + 4 h2o (l). when 2.5 mol of o2 are consumed in the reaction, ____________ mol of co2 are produced.
To determine the amount of carbon dioxide, we use the relation of the substances from the reaction, the initial amount of the reactant O2. We do as follows:
2.5 mol O2 (3 mol CO2 / 5 mol O2) = 1.5 mol CO2 produced
