How many moles of carbon dioxide (co2) are produced when reacting 6.00 moles of butane (c4h10) in excess oxygen (o2)?

24 moles

Explanation:

Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which hydrocarbon is oxidized to carbon dioxide and water.

The balanced chemical reaction for combustion of butane is :

According to stoichiometry,

Given: Oxygen is the excess reagent. Thus butane is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product.

2 moles of butane gives 8 moles of carbon dioxide.

Thus 6 moles of butane will give= of carbon dioxide.
