The formula for the combustion of propane is:
C2H6 + 5O2 --> 2CO2 + 3H2O
So each mole of propane creates two moles of carbon dioxide.
One mole of propane is 30 g, one mole of carbon dioxide is 44 g
So each gram of propane creates (2x44)/30)= 2.93 g of carbon dioxide on combustion.
In common terms a 20lb tank of p for a BBQ creates a bit less than 60 lb of carbon dioxide

The burning of fuel releases chemical energy in what two forms?
Heat and light.
What does the chemical formula C3H8 stands for?
C3H8 is the chemical formula for propane. Propane is a common fuel source for outdoor grills, and it is also a source of fuel for isolated areas that do not have connections to gas lines.
What benefits does a propane heater have?
A propane heater uses propane as it's fuel source. Propane is very fuel efficient, with a 96% return. It is also a very stable fuel source that is unlikely to accidentally catch fire. Propane heaters are a cost effective method of heating a space.
Burning propane chemical or physical?
chemical.
The process of burning a fuel to change chemical energy into thermal energy is called?
When a fuel is burned, it is a combustion reaction. This reaction breaks apart chemical bonds and releases the energy stored in them.
What is the efficiency of propane for space heating?
The efficiency of the fuel is determined by the appliance that is burning it, not the fuel itself.
Is buring petroleum a source of fuel?
Petrol is a fuel. Burning it releases the energy it stores.
Burning fossil fuel releases?
It releases CO2, which is carbon dioxide. They might also release methane
Pollution that releases particles into the air from burning fuel is called?
smoke
The burning of fuel releases chemical energy what two forms?
Heat and light.
The burning of fuel releases chemical energy in what two forms?

What is a MAPP gas torch?
It's Max Power Propylene fuel, comparable to propane fuel used for torches, etc. It has a higher burning temperature than propane fuel, ~3600ºF as compared to ~3400ºF of propane fuel. It is used in many different applications like welding, cutting, soldering, and flame polishing.
What is Burning propane C3H8?
Burning propane is called combustion, in which propane combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.
What does burning fuels create?
Burning fuels creates, or releases, mostly water and carbon dioxide, with a small number of other gases, depending on the quality of the fuel.
Is carbon dioxide a gas from fossil fuel?
Yes, the burning of any fossil fuel releases carbon dioxide. This is what is causing global warming and climate change.
How could you alert people about fossil fuel burning?
By explaining how it releases extra carbon dioxide which is causing global warming.
Which fuel release only carbon dioxide on burning?
Burning natural gas, which is largely methane, releases carbon dioxide with fewer by-products than either oil or coal.
