The products of the reaction of C4H10 with oxygen would be combustion products which are CO2 and H2O. When balancing chemical reactions, it is important to remember that the number of atoms in each side should be equal.

<span>C4H10 + 13/2O2 = 4CO2 + 5H2O</span>

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

Explanation: Combustion is a reaction in which a hydrocarbon combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.

Butane C_4H_{10} is a hydrocarbon as it consists of carbon and hydrogen and thus when it combust, it produces carbon dioxide and water.

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

The chemical equation follow the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed. The number of  atoms on the product side must be same as the number of atoms on the product side.Thus the equation needs to be balanced.

A chemist prepares a solution of magnesium chloride MgCl2 by measuring out 49.mg of MgCl2 into a 100.mL volumetric flask and fil
Flura [38]

Answer:  Molarity of Cl^- anions in the chemist's solution is 0.0104 M

Explanation:

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present per liter of the solution.

Formula used :

Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}

where,

n= moles of solute

Moles=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{0.049g}{95g/mol}=5.2\times 10^{-4}moles  

V_s = volume of solution in ml = 100 ml

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

Molarity=\frac{5.2\times 10^{-4}moles\times 1000}{100ml}=5.2\times 10^{-3}mole/L

Therefore, the molarity of solution will be 5.2\times 10^{-3}mole/L

MgCl_2\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2Cl^-

As 1 mole of MgCl_2 gives 2 moles of Cl^-

Thus 5.2\times 10^{-3}  moles of MgCl_2 gives =\frac{2}{1}\times 5.2\times 10^{-3}=0.0104

Thus the molarity of Cl^- anions in the chemist's solution is 0.0104 M
