Answer:
OptionA. 2C4H10 + 13O2 —> 8CO2 + 10H20
Explanation:
Butane burns is air (O2) according to the equation:
C4H10 + O2 —> CO2 + H20
Considering the equation, it is evident that it not balanced. Now let us balance the equation as shown below;
There are a total of 4 carbon atoms on the left and 1 carbon atom on the right. It can be balanced by putting 4 in front of CO2 as shown below:
C4H10 + O2 —> 4CO2 + H20
Next, there are 10 hydrogen atoms on the left and 2 hydrogen atoms on the right. Therefore to balance it, put 5 in front of H2O as shown below:
C4H10 + O2 —> 4CO2 + 5H20
Now, there are a total of 13 oxygen atoms on the right and 2 at the left. To balance it, put 13/2 in front of O2
as shown below
C4H10 + 13/2O2 —> 4CO2 + 5H20
Now we multiply through by 2 clear off the fraction and we obtained:
2C4H10 + 13O2 —> 8CO2 + 10H20
