Liquid propane (C3H8) is a common heating fuel in rural Nevada where there is no access to a natural gas pipeline. An average home will use roughly 1000 gallons of liquid propane for heating during a year if this is the only source of heating. Given that a gallon is 3.79 liters and the density of liquid propane is 0.493g/cm3, how many grams of carbon dioxide are produced in the combustion of 1000 gallons of propane needed to heat a...
10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper?
