Redox reactions consist of reduction and oxidation reactions
oxidation reactions are the giving out of electrons, the oxidation number of the species giving out the electrons increases during oxidation 
reduction reactions are taking in electrons and the oxidation number of the species taking in electrons reduces after reduction
in the reaction Ca + Cl₂ --> CaCl₂
oxidation numbers of Ca in Ca - 0 and CaCl₂ - +2
oxidation numbers of Cl in Cl₂ - 0 and CaCl₂ - -1
oxidation number of Ca has increased from 0 to +2 therefore Ca is oxidised

The combustion of butane produces heat according to the equation 2C4H10(g) + 13O2(g) → 8CO2(g) + 10H2O(l), ΔH°rxn= –5,314 kJ/mol
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

665 g

Explanation:

Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.

2 C₄H₁₀(g) + 13 O₂(g) → 8 CO₂(g) + 10 H₂O(l), ΔH°rxn= –5,314 kJ/mol

According to this equation, 5,314 kJ are released per 8 moles of CO₂. The moles produced when 1.00 × 10⁴ kJ are released are:

-1.00 × 10⁴ kJ × (8 mol CO₂/-5,314 kJ) = 15.1 mol CO₂

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol. The mass corresponding to 15.1 moles is:

15.1 mol × 44.01 g/mol = 665 g
