LPG stands for liquefied petroleum gas. ...

LPG stands for liquefied petroleum gas. Varieties of LPG are marketed including a mixture of propane (60%) and butane (40%). If 10 L of this mixture is burnt, find the total volume of carbon dioxide gas added to the atmosphere. Combustion reactions can be represented as:
`C_(3)H_(8)(g)+5O_(2)(g) to 3CO_(2)(g)+4H_(2)O(g)`
`2C_(4)H_(10)+13O_(2)(g) to 8CO_(2)(g)+10H_(2)O(g)`

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the volumes of propane and butane in the mixture. Given that the mixture consists of 60% propane and 40% butane, we can calculate the volumes as follows: - Volume of propane (C₃H₈) = 60% of 10 L = \( \frac{60}{100} \times 10 = 6 \, \text{L} \) - Volume of butane (C₄H₁₀) = 40% of 10 L = \( \frac{40}{100} \times 10 = 4 \, \text{L} \) ...
