(i) LPG stands for liquefied petroleum gas. Varieties of LPG are marketed including a mixture of propane (60%) and butane (40%). If 10 litre of this mixture is burnt, find the total volume of carbon dioxide gas added to the atmosphere. Combustion reactions can be represented as:
C3Hg(g) + 5O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g)
2C4H10(g) + 13O2(g) → 8CO2(g) + 10H2O(g)
