Question

Equation is balanced already

Answer 1

Answer:

1.) 13 g C₄H₁₀

2.) 41 g CO₂

Explanation:

To find the mass of propane (C₄H₁₀) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), you need to (1) convert mass O₂ to moles O₂ (via molar mass), then (2) convert moles O₂ to moles C₄H₁₀/CO₂ (via mole-to-mole ratio from equation coefficients), and then (3) convert moles C₄H₁₀/CO₂ to mass C₄H₁₀/CO₂ (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the ratios in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answers should have 2 sig figs to match the sig figs of the given value.

Molar Mass (C₄H₁₀): 4(12.011 g/mol) + 10(1.008 g/mol)

Molar Mass (C₄H₁₀): 58.124 g/mol

Molar Mass (CO₂): 12.011 g/mol + 2(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (CO₂): 44.007 g/mol

Molar Mass (O₂): 2(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (O₂): 31.996 g/mol

2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ ----> 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O

 48 g O₂             1 mole             2 moles C₄H₁₀            58.124 g
