                                      An unlit candle is secured to the bottom of a 200-milliliter glass beaker. Baking soda (sodium hydrogen carbonate) is added around the base of the candle as shown below.

                                      The candle is lit and dilute ethanoic acid is poured down the inside of the beaker. As the acid reacts with the baking soda, bubbles of CO2 gas form. After a few seconds, the air in the beaker is replaced by 0.20 liter of CO2 gas, causing the candle flame to go out. The density of CO2 gas is 1.8 grams per liter at room temperature.

                                                Propane is a fuel that is sold in rigid, pressurized cylinders. Most of the propane in a cylinder is liquid, with gas in the space above the liquid level. When propane is released from the cylinder, the propane leaves the cylinder as a gas. Propane gas is used as a fuel by mixing it with oxygen in the air and igniting the mixture, as represented by the balanced equation below.

                                                C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O() + 2219.2 kJ

                                                A small amount of methanethiol, which has a distinct odor, is added to the propane to help consumers detect a propane leak. In methanethiol, the odor is caused by the thiol functional group (-SH). Methanethiol, CH3SH, has a structure that is very similar to the structure of methanol.
