Propane Combustion

The most succulent property of propane is its ability to combust in air (oxygen).

This is a picture of propane combustion.

Propane reacts with oxygen in the reaction given here:

C3H8 (g) + 5 O2 (g) --> 3 CO2 (g) + 4 H2O (l)

Each mole of propane releases 2220 kJ of heat!

But the end result is absolutely delectable, as the heat and flames produce meats and vegetables grilled just the way you like them!

Most folks would agree that this truly makes PROPANE a FANTASTIC GAS.
