The combustion reaction of petrol is commonly 2 C8H18 + 25 O2 -> 16 CO2 + 18 H2O. So for every two moles of petrol, 25 moles of oxygen are required. Thus for the 6.15 moles of gas, 153.75 moles of O2 are needed or 3440 liters.

So: 1 mole C3H8 : 5 mol O2
So: 1 volume of C3H8 : 5 volumes of mol O2
So: 100 L propane : 500 L Oxygen

What is more flammable than gasoline?
The flammablilty of liquids is measured by flash point this is the minimum temperature in which a spark will ignite it. Gasoline which is a mixture has a flash point of around 0 degrees C. One of the most flammable liquids, Diethyl ether has a flash point of -45 degrees so is much more flammable than gasoline.
How much oxygen does a patient undergoing oxygen therapy receive?
The physician will prescribe the specific amount of oxygen needed by the patient.
Is hydrogen dangerous to humans?
Hydrogen is very flammable to the point of being explosive under the right conditions. It must be kept away from any open flame, However Hydrogen is also less flammable than gasoline. The auto-ignition-point* of hydrogen is 932 degrees Fahrenheit. The auto-ignition-point* of gasoline is only 536 degrees Fahrenheit. Hydrogen has no danger to humans, although if you breath in too much it will replace the oxygen and you will suffocate and possibly die. *Autoignition point is the temperature it takes to ignite or spontaneously combust.
How much the oxygen content of liquefied natural gas is safe?
To answer this correctly, you need to know what the most dangerous concentration of oxygen with natural gas is. Natural gas can only be ignited in a concentration of 10 to 12% oxygen. Too much it won't ignite (the gaseous form of gas would be too diluted to ignite and sustain a flame), and too little it won't ignite, it needs oxygen. Now if the gas is liquefied, it will not mix well with oxygen, which is still gaseous (it boils at -183F), such that any natural gas boiling off the liquid will, in all likelihood, mix with any gaseous oxygen in that concentration until it becomes an explosive mixture. All natural gas tanks (bulk storage only) are vented to allow a small amount of gas to evaporate off, producing a cooling effect on the tank, and lowering the pressure required to maintain the gas in the liquid form. This venting and cooling also serves to remove any dissolved oxygen from the LNG and vents it to the atmosphere. Bottom line, no oxygen mixed with LNG is safe. Levels must be kept to a minimum to prevent explosions.
How many people rely on oxygen machines?
Millions of people worldwide depend on oxygen machines. As an everyday routine, a part of their lives, oxygen machines provides much needed oxygen for many people that can't breathe on their own without assistance.
Why does gasoline ignite?
Gasoline ignites because gasoline is flammable. (simple answer) A more detailed answer would be. Gasoline produces flammable vapors at a much lower temperature than almost any other 'common' chemical. It is the vapors that ignite rather than the chemical itself. Also Gasoline vapors are heavier than air. Any 'Flammable' chemical will ignite in the presence of an open flame or spark if there are sufficient fumes.
Can you ignite Neptune?
No, you can't ignite Neptune. While much of Neptune's atmosphere is hydrogen, there is no oxygen there to support combustion.
Why the cars which run on petrol cant be run with diesel?
Petrol engines use a spark plug to ignite the gasoline. Diesels on the other hand use compression to ignite the fuel. Diesel engines have a very high compression ratio that causes the fuel to ignite under pressure. Gasoline engine do not run near the compression as a diesel. Put diesel in a gasoline engine and it simply will not run. Reason being is that diesel fuel has a much higher flash point. Gasoline contains 4 to 12 carbon atoms, diesel has 10 to 20 carbon atoms and is much heavier than gasoline.
What does engine running rich or lean mean?
An engine runs by the combustion of a mixture of oxygen and gasoline. If this mix has too much oxygen, it is said to run lean. When the mixture has too much gasoline in relation to oxygen, it is running rich.

How much gasoline does a Honda rubicon 500 need and how much fuel stabalizer is needed?
4 gallons
How much oxygen is needed by a human body?
A lot
How does diesel fuel ignite in the engine?
The engine's pistons compress the fuel (an air and diesel oil mixture) in the cylinders and the heat generated by that compression causes the fuel to ignite.A longer answerDiesel engines ignite their fuel solely by means of compression: whilst spark plugs are used to ignite the gasoline fuel and air mixture in gasoline engines, in diesel engines the diesel oil and air mixture is compressed to a very much higher degree, which causes a lot of heat. The resulting very high temperature causes the fuel to self-ignite.
How much oxygen is needed to sustain the burning process?
15%
How much oxygen does a patient undergoing oxygen therapy receive?
The physician will prescribe the specific amount of oxygen needed by the patient.
Why do you get fewer miles per gallon from a gallon of ethanol than from a gallon of gasoline?
Gasoline enriched with ethanol contains more oxygen - so it burns cleaner and much faster than regular gasoline. Which means it increase the power of your car.
Whats the difference between engines running on diesel and gasoline?
Gas engines use spark plugs to ignite the air fuel mixture and diesel engines use high cylinder compression to ignite the fuel air mixture. Other than that they are similar. <><><> Diesel engines ignite the fuel by using high compression: as the engine compresses the air inside the combustion chamber, it reaches around 1000 degrees, at which point diesel fuel is injected into the combustion chamber, and it ignites. Gasoline engines use the sparks from spark plugs to ignite the gasoline/air mixture in the engines' combustion chambers after it has been compressed. Because separate sparks are used the amount of compression required in a gasoline engine is a lot less than would be necessary in a diesel engine. The main reason diesel engines are heavier and more expensive to make than gasoline engines is because, to be able to withstand the much higher compression, diesel engines have to be made much stronger by having thicker cylinder walls, compression chambers, pistons, connecting rods, crankshafts, etc.
