C3H8 + O2 --> CO2 + H20 (balance first) what mass of oxygen gas would be required to completely burn 7.33 g of propane (C3H8) ?

Answer

Polyethylene is a strong synthetic polymer that can be used to make toys and bottles. this makes plastics which are important also to people but sometimes it lead to harmful environmental effects such as global warming if these plastics are burned.

Reaction involved in present system is :   c12h22o11 + h2o → 2 c6h12o6the reaction system is obeying following rate law:   rate = k[c12h22o11]thus, it is a first order reaction.now, for 1st order reactionrate constant (k) =  given: initial conc. = 3.0 g, final conc. = 2.7 g, t = 2.5 h∴rate constant (k) =  ∴ k = 0.04215 h-1now, for 1st order reaction, half life = 0.693/k = 0.693/0.04215 = 16.4 hthus correct answer is option b
