Asked by Maira
How much carbon dioxide is produced upon the complete combustion of 17.3L of propane (approximately content of one 5-gal tank)? Assume that the density of the liquid propane in the tank is 0.621 g/mL.
Can you please list the steps! I am really confused! I tried many ways but I can't find the way to figure it out.

1. Write and balance the equation.
C3H8 + 5O2 ==> 3CO2 + 4H2O
2. grams C3H8 = volume x density = ?
3. mols C3H8 = grams/molar mass = ?
4. Using the coefficients in the balanced equation, convert mols C3H8 to mols CO2.
5. Convert mols CO2 to grams CO2. g = mols x molar mass = ?
