What mass of carbon dioxide would be produced if 100g of butane (c4h10) are completely oxidized to carbon dioxide and water?

Answer : The mass of carbon dioxide produced will be, 303.424 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of butane = 100 g

Molar mass of butane = 58 g/mole

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mole

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

First we have to calculate the moles of

Now we have to calculate the moles of

From the balanced reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 moles of butane react to give 8 moles of carbon dioxide

So, 1.724 moles of butane react to give moles of carbon dioxide

Now we have to calculate the mass of

Therefore, the mass of carbon dioxide produced will be, 303.424 grams.
