Question
If 2.33 L of propane (C3H8) at 24oC and 67.2 kPa is completely burned in excess oxygen, how many moles of carbon dioxide will be produced?
a. Write a balanced equation for the reaction.
b. Use stoichiometry to find the volume of carbon dioxide.
c. Use the ideal gas law to solve the number of moles of propane.

Answers
C3H8 + 5O2 ==> 3CO2 + 4H2O
Use PV = nRT and solve for n = number of mols C3H8
Using the coefficients in the balanced equation, convert mols C3H8 to mols of CO2.
Use PV = nRT and solve for n = number of mols C3H8
Using the coefficients in the balanced equation, convert mols C3H8 to mols of CO2.
I have no clue how to do b and c.
