Moles of Carbon dioxide : 13.5
Further explanation
Given
4.5 moles propane
Required
moles of Carbon dioxide
Solution
Reaction(Combustion of Propane) :
C₃H₈(g)+5O₂(g)→3CO₂(g)+4H₂O(g)
In a chemical equation, the reaction coefficient shows the mole ratio of the reacting compounds (either in reactants or products)
From the equation, mol ratio of Propane(C₃H₈) : Carbon dioxide(CO₂) : 1 : 3, so mol CO₂ :
= 3/1 x mol Propane
= 3 x 4.5 moles
= 13.5 moles
