Answer:

Carbon is in carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas that works to trap heat close to Earth. Carbon is the chemical backbone of life on Earth. Carbon compounds regulate the Earth's temperature, make up the food that sustains us, and provide energy that fuels our global economy. Most of Earth's carbon is stored in rocks and sediments. The rest is located in the ocean, atmosphere, and in living organisms

What else is produced during the combustion of butane, C4H10?

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
