A balloon carries 40.0 gallons of liquid propane (density 0.5005 g/L). What volume of CO2 and H2O gas is produced by the combustion of this propane? (C3H8 + 5O2>> 3CO2 + 4H2O)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Balance chemical reaction is the representation of reactant and product in such a way that the number of moles of product and reactant is equal. The coefficient and number of atoms maintain the stoichiometry of a chemical reaction. If reaction is balanced then the number of atoms on the reactant side is exactly the same number of atoms present on the product side.
