Combustion of hydrocarbons such as undecane (C_11H_24) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere can trap the Sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the Earth. For this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide.
1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of liquid undecane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water.
2. Suppose 0.260 kg of undecane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a temperature of 13.0°C. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
