answer : butene is formed as a major product.
explanation : as you know, Cr2O3 is worked as an oxidizing agent. so, when butane is heated with chromium oxide, Cr2O3, Butane converts into butene. This reaction is known as dehydrogenation of butane.
reaction of butane and Cr2O3 is ....
3C4H10 + Cr2O3 → 3C4H8 + 2Cr + 3H2O
here, you can see, butane oxidises into butene and also Cr2O3 reduces into Cr and 3 mole of water is formed as byproduct.
