Combustion of hydrocarbons such as propane ( c3h8 ) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere can trap the sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the earth. for this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide.

1. write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of gaseous propane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water.

2. suppose 0.150kg of propane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1atm and a temperature of 12.0°c . calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced. round your answer to 3 significant digits. l
