What mass of butane in grams is necessary to produce 1.5×103 kJ1.5×103 kJ of heat? What mass of CO2CO2 is produced? Assume the reaction to be as follows: C4H10(g)+132O2(g)→4CO2(g)+5H2O(g),Δ Hrxn=−2658 kJ

32.8 g of Butane is required and 99.3 g of CO₂ is produced

Explanation:

The above mentioned reaction can be written as,

C₄H₁₀(g) + 13 O₂(g) → 4CO₂(g) + 5 H₂O(g)     where ΔH (rxn)= -2658 kJ

It is given that 1.5 × 10³ kJ of energy is produced, the original reaction says that 2658 kJ of heat is produced, which means that less than one mole of butane is used in the reaction.

That is

   of butane reacted

Now this moles is converted into mass by multiplying it with its molar mass  = 0.564 mol × 58.122 g / mol

                     = 32.8 g of butane.

Mass of CO₂ produced = 0.564 ×44.01 g /mol × 4 mol

                                        = 99.3 g of CO₂

Thus 32.8 g of Butane is required and 99.3 g of CO₂ is produced

the answer is d. 74.02
