Answer to Question #162370 in Chemistry for Ava Brooke

Question

Using the following chemical equation how many grams of carbon dioxide can be produced by burning 18.49 g of butane?

C₄H₁₀ + 5O₂ -> 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

Answer 1

According to the equation, the mass of carbon dioxide is:

m(CO₂) = m(C₄H₁₀) × 3 × Mr(CO₂) / Mr(C₄H₁₀) = 18.49 g × 3 × 44 g/mol / 58 g/mol = 42.08 g

Answer: 42.08 g
