Combustion of hydrocarbons such as pentane (C,H12) produces carbon diaxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere can trap the Sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the Earth. For this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon diaxide. 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of liquid pentane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. D-0 2. Suppose 0.500 kg of pentane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a temperature of 19.0 "C. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced. Round your answer to 3 wignihcant digits.

Suppose 0.340 kg of pentane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly I atm and a temperature of 11.0 °C. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. L
Combustion of hydrocarbons such as heptane (C,H16) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere can trap the Sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the Earth. For this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide. 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of liquid heptane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. alo x10 Ar 2. Suppose 0.420 kg of heptane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a temperature of 16.0 °C. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
