What volume of O₂ at STP is required to burn 9 g of C₃H₈ completely to CO₂ and H₂O? (Molar mass: C₃H₈ = 44 g/mol)

Reaction: C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O. Moles of C₃H₈ ≈ 0.2045 mol. 1 mol needs 5 mol O₂; 0.2045 mol needs 1.0225 mol. Volume = 1.0225 × 22.4 ≈ 22.9 L.

What is the mass of KClO₃ required to produce 2.24 L of O₂ at STP with 50% decomposition efficiency? (Molar mass: KClO₃

Reaction: 2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂. Moles of O₂ = 0.1 mol. 3 mol O₂ from 2 mol KClO₃; 0.1 mol needs ≈ 0.0667 mol. With 50% efficiency, KClO₃ = 0.0667 / 0.5 ≈ 0.1333 mol; mass ≈ 16.33 g.

What volume of CO₂ at STP is produced when 7 g of C₂H₂ is burned completely? (Molar mass: C₂H₂ = 26 g/mol)

Reaction: 2C₂H₂ + 5O₂ → 4CO₂ + 2H₂O. Moles of C₂H₂ = 7/26 ≈ 0.2692 mol. 2 mol C₂H₂ produce 4 mol CO₂; 0.2692 mol produce 0.5384 mol. Volume = 0.5384 × 22.4 ≈ 12.06 L.
