Chapter 11, Problem 11.106QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given reaction balanced equation has to be written and the number of liters of ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ that is produced from given quantity of propane has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The chemical equation needs to be balanced so as to follow the law of protection of mass.  A balanced chemical equation is where the number of the different atoms of elements in the reactants side is equal to that of the products side.

STP in chemistry is the short form for Standard Temperature and Pressure.  STP most usually is used when performing arts calculations on gases, such as gas density.  The normal temperature is $\text{273 K }\left(\text{0° Celsius or 32° Fahrenheit}\right)$ and the standard pressure is $\text{1 atm}$ pressure.  This is the freezing point of pure water at sea level atmospheric pressure.
