Solution

10 litres of LPG contains,

Propane $= \frac{60}{100} \times 10 = 6 l i t r e s$

Butane $= \frac{40}{100} \times 10 = 4 l i t r e s$

$C_{3} H_{8} 1 V + 5 O_{2} \to 3 C O_{2} 3 V + 4 H_{2} O$

6 L of $C_{3} H_{8}$ produces $3 \times 6 = 18 L o f C O_{2}$

$2 C_{4} H_{10} 2 V + 13 O_{2} \to 8 C O_{2} 8 V + 10 H_{2} O$

4 L of $C_{4} H_{10}$ produces $2 \times 8 = 16 L o f C O_{2}$

Total volume of $C O_{2}$ added to atmosphere $= 18 + 16 = 34 l i t r e s$
