If 15 tons of propane are burned, how many tons of carbon dioxide are released?

Expert Solution

C3H8 +5 O2 --------- 3 CO2 + 4 H2O

1 mole 3 mole

Moar mass of C3H8 = 44 grams/mole

Molar mass of CO2 = 44 gram/mole

1 gram = 1.1 X 10^-6 tones

44 grams = 1.1X 10^-6 X 44= 48.4 X 10^-6 tones

According to equation , 48.4 X 10^-6 tones of propane = 3 X 48.4 X 10^-6 tones of CO2

15 tones of C3H8 = ?

= 3 X 48.4 X 10^-6 tones X15/48.4X10^-6

= 45 tones of CO2.

The amount of CO2 = 45 tones.

Plants require carbon dioxide for photosynthesis; despite this, the greater the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by various sources (including carbon emissions from vehicles), the worse it is for our biosphere. Discuss 3 reasons why it is detrimental to our planet to have high levels of carbon dioxide emitted continuously into the atmosphere.
