Calculate the mass of water produced when 9.57 g of butane reacts with excess oxygen. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

14.9 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

C₄H₁₀ + 6.5 O₂ ⇒ 4 CO₂ + 5 H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 9.57 g of C₄H₁₀

The molar mass of C₄H₁₀ is 58.12 g/mol.

9.57 g × 1 mol/58.12 g = 0.165 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of H₂O produced from 0.165 moles of C₄H₁₀

0.165 mol C₄H₁₀ × 5 mol H₂O/1 mol C₄H₁₀ = 0.825 mol H₂O

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.825 mol of H₂O

The molar mass of H₂O is 18.02 g/mol.

0.825 mol × 18.02 g/mol = 14.9 g

each chemical family is represented as a group or column on the periodic table. based on chemical properties, there are 6 types of chemical families. group 1 represents alkali metals, group 2 represents alkaline earth metals, groups 3 to 12 represent transition metals, groups 13 to 16 represent non-metals and other metals, group 17 represents halogens and group 18 represents noble gases.
