What gas is used in cylinders that blow out fire?
Small hand torches are typically propane. Large professional welding torches use a mixture of oxygen and acetylene.
What are the example of gas to gas mixture?
The most abundant example of a gas gas mixture is the air we breathe! It is a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, water, argon, carbon dioxide and many trace gases!
When is oxygen is mixture?
Oxygen is a chemical element not a mixture.
What is Burning propane C3H8?
Burning propane is called combustion, in which propane combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.
What kindsof atoms are there in propane?
Propane has the chemical formula C3H8 which means it has only carbon and oxygen atoms.
Compare the exposive power of TNT against that of propane gas?
Not possible as the explosive force of propane will depend on what it is mixed with (air or oxygen or other oxidiser), the ratio propane to oxidising agent, and pressure. In very many cases, propane will not explode when ignited.
Is it possible to have an explosion without oxygen?
Sure, e.g., liquid nitrogen will explode at room temperature if kept confined in a container such as a capped bottle.
Why do carrots explode in the microwave?
The same with beans, they start to expand in too much heat and eventually explode.
How many oxygen atoms are in propane?
0, there are no oxygen atoms in PROPANE (C3H8 or CH3CH2CH3)
How many moles of oxygen will be produced from the complete combustion of 4 moles of propane?
No moles of oxygen are produced by complete combustion of propane. Oxygen is CONSUMED, not produced. For combustion of 4 moles of propane, it will use 20 moles of oxygen.
What gas is used in cylinders that blow out fire?
Small hand torches are typically propane. Large professional welding torches use a mixture of oxygen and acetylene.
How hot does a torch burn at?
With the correct mixture of Acetylene and Oxygen the flame can reach 5,000F or more. Other fuels (Propane etc.) do not create temperatures this high.
What are the example of gas to gas mixture?
The most abundant example of a gas gas mixture is the air we breathe! It is a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, water, argon, carbon dioxide and many trace gases!
How many moles of oxygen are necessary to react completely with moles of propane?
The ratio of propane to oxygen is 1:5. So for every mole of propane, 5 moles of oxygen gas are required for the complete combustion of propane.Balanced equation:C3H8 + 5O2 --> 3CO2 + 4H2O
When is oxygen is mixture?
Oxygen is a chemical element not a mixture.
Which gas is a product of the combustion of propane?
Carbon dioxide is the gas that is the product of combustion of propane.
How many moles of oxygen are utilized by the complete combustion of propane?
Propane is C3H8 and the combustion equation is C3H8 + 5O2 ==> 3CO2 + 4H2OSo the complete combustion of 1 mole of propane requires 5 moles of oxygen.
