Question

L.p.g gas contains butane.its molecular formula is c4h10. name the possible products obtained by its complete combustion

Answer 1

carbon dioxide and water
2c4h10+13O2--8co2+10h2O

Answer 2

Answer: Possible products obtained by the complete combustion of butane are carbon dioxide and water molecule.

Explanation: Combustion reactions are defined as the reactions in which hydrocarbon decomposes in the presence of air containing oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water molecules.

Reaction for the combustion of Butane is given by:

$2C_4H_{10}(g)+13O_2(g)\rightarrow 8CO_2(g)+10H_2O(l)$

By Stoichiometry,

2 moles of butane reacts with 13 moles of oxygen to produce 8 moles of carbon dioxide and 10 moles of water.
