Question

What else is produced during the combustion of butane, C4H10?

2C4H10 + 13O2 →
+ 10H2O

Answer 1

8CO2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

8CO₂

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

• Butane, C₄H₁₀

• Butane is a hydrocarbon in the homologous series known as alkane.

We are required to determine the other product produced in the combustion of butane apart from water.

• We know that the complete combustion of alkane yields carbon dioxide and water.
• Therefore, combustion of butane will yield carbon dioxide and water.

• The balanced equation for the complete combustion of butane will be;

2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ → 8CO₂ + 10H₂O
