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
[tex]$\frac{1500}{2658}=0.564 \text { moles }[/tex] 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
