The molecular formula for the combustion of butane in oxygen is:
2 C4H10 + 13 O2 ---> 8 CO2 + 10 H20
<span>You take the mass of carbon dioxide, 56.8g, divide by its molar mass, 44.01g/mol, to produce the moles of carbon dioxide. This is multiplied by the molar ratio of butane/CO2, (2/8) = 1/4, which gives the moles of butane required to produce the carbon dioxide. Multiply the number of moles of butane by its molar mass, 58.12g/mol, to produce the mass of butane. Mass of butane = 18.8g</span>
The balanced chemical equation of the reaction described above is,
C2H6O + O2 --> H2O + C2H4O2
If we have 3.84 g of oxygen, we divide by its molar mass.
n = (3.54 g Oxygen gas) x (1 mole O2/ 32 g O2)
n = 0.11 moles O2
Using ratio and proportion,
number of moles of ethanol = (0.11 moles O2) x (1 mole C2H6)
= 0.11 moles C2H6
Then, we multiply the calculated value to its molar mass, 46 grams /mol.
mass of ethanol = (0.11 mol) x (46 grams / mol)
= <em>5.06 grams</em>
