How Many Moles Of Water Would Be Produced From 10 Moles Of Butane Burned In An Excess Of Oxygen?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Butane is an organic compound and its molecular formula is CH3CH2CH2CH3 or C4H10. Butane is also categorized as a hydrocarbon because it consists of carbon and hydrogen atoms. When butane is burned in excess of oxygen it forms carbon dioxide and water.

    C4H10 + 13/2O2 --------- > 4CO2 + 5H2O

    Five moles of water are produced from one mole of butane.

    Multiply the ionic equation by 10, we get

    10C4H10 + 10*13/2O2 --------- > 10*4CO2 + 10*5H2O

    10C4H10 + 65O2 --------- > 40CO2 + 50H2O

    So, 50 moles of water are produced from ten moles of butane burned in an excess of oxygen.
