Key Stage 3
Meaning
Propane is a gaseous (at room temperature) hydrocarbon with chemical formula C3H8.
About Propane
- Propane is hydrocarbon because it contains only Hydrogen and Carbon atoms.
- Propane can be oxidised to produce Carbon Dioxide and Water.
- Propane + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water
