1000m³ of Carbon dioxide is required.

Propane is a type of hydrocarbon that is made up of a single carbon-carbon bond.

Propane burns in oxygen completely in a combustion reaction to produce carbondioxide and water.

The balance equation of combustion of propane gas is:

C3H8(g)+5O2(g)→3CO2(g)+4H2O(g).

But noncombustibility of propane is the incomplete combustion of propane which occurs in absence or insufficient oxygen supply.

The balanced equation for noncombustibility of propane is:

2C3H8 + 9O2 → 4CO2 + 2CO + 8H2O

2 moles of propane = 4 moles of CO2

CO21 mole of propane = 2 moles of CO2 (4moles/2moles)

Therefore 500cm³ of propane = 2 × 500

= 1000cm³

Therefore, 1000m³ of Carbon dioxide is required to ensure the noncombustibility of a 500-cubic-meter compartment filled with propane vapor
