What volume of oxygen gas (O2) measured at 00C and 1 atm, is needed to burn completely 1L, of propane gas (C3H8) measured under the same conditions?
C3H8+5O2⟶3CO2+4H2O
1 mole of C3H8 requires 5 mole of O2
∴1 mole =22.4dm3
1×22.4dm3 propane needs 5×22.4dm3
∴5L of oxygen is required to burn 1L of propane completely.
