The formula for the combustion of propane is:
C2H6 + 5O2 --> 2CO2 + 3H2O
So each mole of propane creates two moles of carbon dioxide.
One mole of propane is 30 g, one mole of carbon dioxide is 44 g
So each gram of propane creates (2x44)/30)= 2.93 g of carbon dioxide on combustion.
In common terms a 20lb tank of p for a BBQ creates a bit less than 60 lb of carbon dioxide
The burning of fuel releases chemical energy in the form of heat and light.
The heat and light produced when burning propane come from the chemical reaction between propane and oxygen. This reaction releases energy in the form of heat and light as the propane molecules break apart and combine with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water vapor.
A propane heater uses propane as it's fuel source. Propane is very fuel efficient, with a 96% return. It is also a very stable fuel source that is unlikely to accidentally catch fire. Propane heaters are a cost effective method of heating a space.
A campfire is kept going by burning fuel such as wood, charcoal, or propane. The heat generated from the burning fuel then sustains the combustion process and allows the fire to continue burning.
The chemical formula C3H8 stands for propane. It is a hydrocarbon compound consisting of three carbon atoms and eight hydrogen atoms. Propane is commonly used as a fuel for heating and cooking, as well as in vehicles and industrial applications.
The burning of fuel releases chemical energy in the form of heat and light.
The efficiency of the fuel is determined by the appliance that is burning it, not the fuel itself.
No, a wood burning stove requires wood as its fuel source, not propane. It is not safe to burn wood in a stove designed for propane only. It is important to adhere to the manufacturer's instructions and use the appropriate fuel for your stove.

Petrol is a fuel. Burning it releases the energy it stores.

The energy released by burning one kg of fuel can vary depending on the type of fuel. For example, burning one kg of gasoline releases approximately 43 MJ of energy, while burning one kg of natural gas releases around 50 MJ of energy.

Burning fuels creates, or releases, mostly water and carbon dioxide, with a small number of other gases, depending on the quality of the fuel.
