A hydrate is a substance where in it contains water and other constituent elements. To know whether if that compound was a hydrate,you should record its mass, then put it in a test tube and heat it with a Bunsen burner. If the compound is a hydrate, the water in the compound will discharge in the form of water vapor. At the next 5-10 minutes, remove it in the test tube and weigh it up again. If the mass is now fewer, that means that there was water existing that has now evaporated, and the compound was a hydrate.
The answer would be A, 100g since it’s equal
Another product: CO₂
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Reaction
2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂⇒ 8__+ 10H₂O
Required
product compound
Solution
In the combustion of hydrocarbons there can be 2 kinds of products
If there is excess Oxygen, you will get Carbon dioxide(CO₂) and water in the product
If Oxygen is low, you'll get Carbon monoxide(CO) and water
Or in other ways, we can use the principle of the law of conservation of mass which is also related to the number of atoms in the reactants and in the products
if we look at the reaction above, there are C atoms on the left (reactants), so that in the product there will also be C atoms with the same number of C atoms on the left
2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂⇒ 8CO₂+ 10H₂O
