<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom. Outermost shell has the highest value of 'n' that is principal quantum number.

Sulfur is the 16th element of the periodic table having 16 electrons. The electronic configuration of this element is: 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4

The number of electrons in first shell (n = 1) : 2

The number of electrons in second shell (n = 2) : (2 + 6) = 8

The number of electrons in third shell, outermost shell (n = 3) : (2 + 4) = 6

The number of valence electrons in sulfur atom are 6

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer: 2C_4H_{10}(g)+13O_2(g)\rightarrow 8CO_2(g)+10H_2O(g)

Explanation

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The balanced combustion reaction for butane is,:

2C_4H_{10}(g)+13O_2(g)\rightarrow 8CO_2(g)+10H_2O(g)
