Propane burns completely to produce carbon dioxide and water. Describe how you would use limewater to show that carbon dioxide is produced.

If carbon dioxide is present, when the solution produced is mixed with lime water if it turns cloudy this will prove that carbon dioxide is present.

Why does the temperature decrease in the endothermic reaction?


5.00 g of copper(II) carbonate decomposes to form copper(II) oxide and carbon dioxide: CuCO3(g) → CuO(s) + CO2(g). Calculate the maximum mass of carbon dioxide that can be produced. (Mr of CuCO3 = 123.5, Mr of CO2 = 44.0)


For the reaction, 2SO2(g) + O2(g) => 2SO3(g), suggest the optimal conditions to maximise yield of SO3 when the forward reaction is exothermic.
