Question

No of moles of carbon dioxide formed by the complete combustion of 1 mole of butane

Answer 1

Answer:

No of moles of carbon dioxide formed= 2 moles

Explanation:

Here,

2C4H10 + 13O2 = 8CO2 + 10H20

2 moles 13 moles 8 moles 10 moles

On the basis of balanced chemical equation, it is clear that -

2 moles of butane combine with oxygen to produce 8 moles of carbon dioxide

So, 1 mole of butane combine with oxygen to produce 8/2 moles of carbon dioxide

i.e 4 moles of carbon dioxide
