THE PERCENTAGE BY VOLUME OF PROPANE IN A MIXTURE OF PROPANE,METHANE AND CO IS 36.5 CALCULATE THE VOLUME OF CARBON DIOXIDE PRODUCED WHEN 100 ML OF THE MIXTURE IS BURNT IN EXCESS OF OXYGEN?

Hi,

propane molecular formula is C₃H₈ which gives 3 ml of CO₂ per 1 mole

But the CO and CH₄ give one mole each per one mole.

In the 100 ml mixture the CO and CH₄ are (100-36.5)=63.5 ml which will give only 63.5 ml of CO₂

And propane gives 3×(36.5)ml of CO_2.

Total CO₂ produced = 109.5 + 63.5 = 173 ml.
