Question

How many grams of O2(g) are needed to completely burn 46.0 g C3H8(g)?

Answer 1

167,3 grams of O2 (g)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the following balanced equation:

C3H8 + 5 02 ---> 3 CO2 + 4 H20

We calculate the mass of the moles:

5 mol O2 = 16grams/mol x2x 5= 160 grams/mol

1 mol C3H8= 3 x12 grams/mol + 8 x 1 gram/mol= 44 grams/mol

If 44 grams C3H8 react with--------- 160 grams O2

46 gramsC3H8 react with --------X = (46x160)/44 =167, 3 grams O2
