Question

Butane burns is shown in the balance chemical equation 2C4H10+1302->10H2O+8CO2. If 6 mol of butane burns______mol of carbon dioxide are produced.

Answer 1

Given:

Number of moles of butane = 6

To determine:

Moles of carbon dioxide produced

Explanation:

The chemical reaction involving combustion of butane is:

2C4H10 + 13O2 → 10H2O + 8CO2

Based on the reaction stoichiometry:

2 moles of butane produces 8 moles of CO2

Therefore, 6 moles of butane would yield:

6 moles C4H10 * 8 moles CO2/2 moles butane = 24 moles of CO2

Ans: If 6 mole of butane burns 24 moles of CO2 will be produced.
