Answer:

The compound is a saturated fatty acid.

Explanation:

Fatty acids are <u>carboxylic acids with a long chain</u>, which can be 3-carbon long-chain atoms or above. According to the saturation of its bonds, they can be saturated (all single bonds) or unsaturated (mono or polyunsaturated, depending on the number of double bonds present in the molecule).

In this case, since it is a saturated fatty acid and it has 26 carbons, it is called cerotic acid, or hexacosanoic acid.

What mass of butane in grams is necessary to produce 1.5×103 kJ1.5×103 kJ of heat? What mass of CO2CO2 is produced? Assume the r
saul85 [17]

32.8 g of Butane is required and 99.3 g of CO₂ is produced

<u>Explanation:</u>

The above mentioned reaction can be written as,

C₄H₁₀(g) + 13 O₂(g) → 4CO₂(g) + 5 H₂O(g)     where ΔH (rxn)= -2658 kJ

It is given that 1.5 × 10³ kJ of energy is produced, the original reaction says that 2658 kJ of heat is produced, which means that less than one mole of butane is used in the reaction.

That is

$\frac{1500}{2658}=0.564 \text { moles }    of butane reacted

Now this moles is converted into mass by multiplying it with its molar mass  = 0.564 mol × 58.122 g / mol

                     = 32.8 g of butane.

Mass of CO₂ produced = 0.564 ×44.01 g /mol × 4 mol

                                        = 99.3 g of CO₂

Thus 32.8 g of Butane is required and 99.3 g of CO₂ is produced
