Burning 1 mol of propane in a gas grill adds 132.0 g of carbon dioxide (CO_{2}) to the atmosphere. What volume of CO_{2}does this correspond to at STP?
Analysis
To solve this problem, we must convert the number of grams of CO_{2}to moles using the molar mass. The number of moles of CO_{2}can then be converted to its volume using a mole–volume conversion factor (1 mol/22.4 L).
