What is the molar mass of butane, c4h10? express your answer to two decimal places and include the appropriate units.

molar mass of C4H10 is 58.12 g/mol (2 decimal place)

Explanation:

C4H10 contains carbon and hydrogen atoms. The molar mass of carbon and hydrogen are 12.0107g/mol and 1.00784g/mol respectively.

we will use these values to calculate for the molar mass of butane

molar mass of C4H10 = (12.0107*4) + (1.00784*10)

                                    = 58.1212 g/mol

                                    =58.12 g/mol

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.
