Answer:
290 grams
Explanation:
Let's begin by writing the balanced chemical equations:
[tex]C_{3}H_{8} +5O_{2} --->3CO_{2} +4H_{2}O[/tex]
Then we calculate the number of moles in 97g of propane.
n(propane)=[tex]\frac{mass}{molarmass} =\frac{97g}{44.1g/mol}=2.1995mol[/tex]
According to the balanced chemical equation, one mole of propane produces 3 moles of carbon dioxide. So the available number of moles of propane must be multiplied by three to work out the number of carbon dioxide produced.
n(carbon dioxide)= 2.1995mol*3 = 6.5985mol
mass(carbon dioxide) = moles * molar mass
= 6.5985 mol * 44.01 g/mol
= 290 grams
