Answer:
mass of carbon dioxide produced = 87.9153846154 g ≈ 87.92 g
Explanation:
The chemical equation is as follow
Butane = C4H10
oxygen = O2
carbon dioxide = CO2
water = H2O
C4H10 + O2 → CO2 + H2O
The equation should be balanced before solving it.
2C4H10 + 13O2 → 8CO2 + 10H2O
molar mass of 13 mole of oxygen = 416 g
molar mass of 8 mole of carbon dioxide = 256 + 96 = 352 g
416 g of oxygen was needed to produce 352 g of carbon dioxide
103.9 g will produce ?
cross multiply
mass of carbon dioxide produced = 103.9 × 352/416
mass of carbon dioxide produced = 103.9 × 352/416
mass of carbon dioxide produced = 36572.8
/416
mass of carbon dioxide produced = 87.9153846154 g ≈ 87.92 g
