In terms of a deeper scientific reason, I am not sure, but the basic reason is quite simple. "Mud" tends to look like a mix between a solid, dirt, and a liquid, water or some other liquid. Since it is, in fact, a cross between a solid and a liquid, it has properties of both. It has certain physical and visual properties that only a solid would have, such as texture and opaqueness, but it also has physical properties of a liquid. Since it leans more towards the liquid side than the solid side, we say mud "flows" rather than saying that it "rolls" or "bounces".
Answer:
Explanation:
We know we will need an equation with masses and molar masses, so let’s gather all the information in one place.
M_r: 58.12 44.01
2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ ⟶ 8CO₂ + 10H₂O
m/g: 9.511
1. Moles of C₄H₁₀
2. Moles of CO₂
The molar ratio is 8 mol CO₂:2 mol C₄H₁₀
3. Mass of CO₂
Since it is a phase change, use the mHfusion equation.
