The given reaction is:
C4H10 + O2 → CO2 + H2O
The above equation is not balanced due to the unequal distribution of atoms on either side of equation
# atoms Reactants # atoms products
C = 4 C = 1
H = 10 H = 2
O = 2 O = 3
In order to balance it, multiply C4H10 by 2, O2 by 13, CO2 by 8 and H2O by 10 to get:
2C4H10 + 13 O2 → 8CO2 + 10H2O
In a Lewis structure, formal charges can be assigned to each atom by treating each bond as if one-half of the electrons are assigned to each atom. ... Resonance occurs in cases where two or more Lewis structures with identical arrangements of atoms but different distributions of electrons can be written.
So 500/110=4.54545455, so 4.54545455 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 4.55 miles!
