Question

Gaseous butane CH3CH22CH3 will react with gaseous oxygen O2 to produce gaseous carbon dioxide CO2 and gaseous water H2O. Suppose 26.2 g of butane is mixed with 36. g of oxygen. Calculate the maximum mass of carbon dioxide that could be produced by the chemical reaction. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer 1

2 C4 H 0 + 1302 (g) - 8 CO2 +10420 moles of butane = 26. 2g i 0.45 l mal 58 g/mol moles of o2 = 36g bol = . 1125 mol 32 g/mol moles of O2 required = 13 x 0.451 = 2.93 mol & O₂ is limiting moles of co, forneed = 1.125 08 B 20.69 2 mal mass-0.6924 uuglmol = 30.46 g
