Each kg of gas burnt produces a kg of water.
Interesting, I hadn't thought of it like that. In fact, it makes more
than 1kg of water:
C3H8 + 5 O2 = 3 CO2 + 4 H2O
propane has Mol Wt. 44
4 H2O has Mol Wt 4* 18 = 72
So 44 grams of propane make 72 grams of water
So 1kg propane makes 72/44 = 1.6 kg water
