Mr. Smith and his friends go on a camping trip. They use propane (C3H8) to fuel their camping stove. Unfortunately it is raining outside and Mr. Smith decides it is best to use the camping stove to roast marshmallows inside the tent. What advice would you give Mr. Smith and why? (3 marks)

I would tell him to open the tent in order to breathe frsh air.

Explanation:

Even if propane is not ignited, the buildup of the gas can be deadly due to inhalation. Breathing the gas can cause hypoxia, which is a form of oxygen deprivation that can lead to death. Hence you shouldnt use propane indoors.
