Question

1. __C4H10 + __O2 --> __CO2 + __H2OYou have 6 moles of C4H10. How many moles of H2O will be produced?

Answer 1

Anser

2 C4H10 + 13 O2 -----> 8 CO2 + 10 H2O

15 moles of H2O will be produced

Explanation

Given:

Moles of C4H10 = 6 moles

The given unbalanced equation is

__C4H10 + __O2 --> __CO2 + __H2O

Solution:

The balanced equation for the reaction is

2 C4H10 + 13 O2 -----> 8 CO2 + 10 H2O

From the balanced equation, 4 moles of C4H10 prduced 10 moles of wH2O

Therefore 6 moles of C4H10 will produce

$\frac{6\text{ }moles\text{ }C_4H_{10}}{4\text{ }moles\text{ }C_4H_{10}}\times10\text{ }moles\text{ }H_2O=15\text{ }moles\text{ }H_2O$

15 moles of H2O will be produced.
