When a hydrocarbon like propane gas is burned with oxygen what type of reaction is this?
Oxidation or combustion
What kind of reaction is 2C2H6 plus 7O2 g --4CO2 plus 6H20?
Hydrocarbons produce water and carbon dioxide when burned in more oxygen. In the above reaction, water and carbon dioxide is made as products. So this reaction is a combustion.
What is released when fuels are burnt?
When hydrocarbons like methane, propane, and gasoline are burned, the main products are carbon dioxide and water vapor. However, there are many other products that are created, too. One of those is carbon monoxide, a poison.
Why a piece of wood is the example of the chemical reaction?
A piece of wood by itself is not an example of a chemical reaction. However, when the wood is burned, it chemically combines with oxygen in the air, producing mostly water and carbon dioxide. Because new chemical substances are created in this combustion reaction, the burning of wood is a good example of a chemical reaction.
Why do propane tanks stay cool when the burner is on?
Because the propane in the tank is mostly liquid and as the propane gas at the top of the tank is removed to be burned the liquid propane must evaporate to replace it. Evaporating a liquid requires heat, which the liquid takes from things around it. The tank is in closest contact with the liquid propane, so it cools fastest.

When propane gas is burned with oxygen the products are carbon dioxide and water write an unbalanced formula equation for the reaction?
C3H8 + O2 ---------> CO2 + H2O UNBALANCED C3H8 + 5O2 ---------> 3CO2 + 4H2O BALANCED

C7H16 plus 11O2 gives 7CO2 plus 8H2O - According to this equation how many moles of carbon dioxide will be produced if 5 moles of heptane are burned?
Well you can see from your equation that each mole of heptane produces 7 moles of Carbon dioxide when burned so 5 moles of heptane produces 5 X 7 moles of carbon dioxide. I'll let you do the maths.
Why is smoke produced when propene is burned?
smoke is produced when the propane burns because the carbon oxidises into carbon dioxide which forms smoke.
How many moles of carbon dioxide are produced when 10.0 moles of propane are burned in excess oxygen on gas grill?
30 moles
Is the combustion of propane endothermic or exothernic?
In the presence of excess oxygen, propane burns to form water and carbon dioxide. When not enough oxygen is present for complete combustion, incomplete combustion occurs when propane burns and forms water, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide.
What role does the spark from the igniter play in the reaction that takes place when propane is burned in a gas grill?
The spark provides enough energy to break the bonds of reacting molecules and get the reaction started.

When a matchstick burned?
It is an example for a combustion reaction. The matchstick contains sulfur and carbon. Therefore two of the products would be sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide.
What are the products of the complete combustion of propane?
carbon dioxide and water oxygen gas and carbon atoms
What can propane do to you?
Thew most important use is as fuel; for other applications see the link below. If we are discussing proper use of propane, it can kill you, it can keep you warm, and it can be used to cook your meals. When propane is burned properly between 3 and 9 percent volume it will burn cleanly producing as a waste water and carbon dioxide. When burned too lean it will produce carbon monoxide which can be deadly. When burned too rich the excess propane could pool because it is 1.5 times heavier than air. Propane can be used also for refrigeration. Additionally the inhalation of propane could cause asphyxiation due to oxygen displacement.
