The combustion of propane C, H, produces carbon dioxide and steam. CH,(8) + 50,(8) — 3C0,(8) + 4H2O(1)
How many moles of CO2 are produced when 7.5 mol of propane are burned in an excess of oxygen?
A. 15 mol
B. 23 mol
C. 3.8 mol
D. 2.5 mol

23 moles

Explanation:

Given data:

number of moles of propane = 7.5 mol

Number of moles of carbon dioxide produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

C₃H₈ + 5O₂     →      3CO₂ + 4H₂O

Now we will compare the moles of propane and carbon dioxide.

                        C₃H₈             :             CO₂

                             1                :               3

                           7.5              :           3/1×7.5 = 22.5

22.5≅ 23 moles

let that person have a turn to speak : )

hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only hydrogens and carbons. they can be saturated (those which contain only carbon-carbon single bonds) or unsaturated (those which contain carbon-carbon double or triple bonds) in nature. hydrocarbons can undergo several reactions like substitution, elimination etc.  

on substituting one or more hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbon it results in the formation of haloalkane. as the halogen atoms are large compared to the carbon and hydrogen atoms, due to which the molecular weight increases and the bond become polar because of presence electronegative halogen atom and results in the increase in boiling point of the haloalkane.

thus, the correct option is (b) that is the boiling point of the new compound increases on substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon.
