Answer to Question #162375 in Chemistry for Ava Brooke

Question

Using the following chemical equation how many grams of carbon dioxide can be produced by burning 7.99 g of oxygen?

C₄H₁₀ + 5O₂ -> 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

Answer 1

C₄H₁₀ + 5O₂ -> 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

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

m (CO₂) = m(O₂) × 3 × Mr(CO₂) / [5 × Mr(O₂)] = 7.99 g × 3 × 44 g/mol / [5 × 32 g/mol] = 6.6 g

Answer: 6.6 g
