Combustion of hydrocarbons such as decane (C₁0H22) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere can trap the
Sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the Earth. For this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the
production of carbon dioxide.
1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the
combustion of liquid decane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water.
0
2. Suppose 0.100 kg of decane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a
temperature of 12.0 °C. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced.
Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
