Butane, C4H10, reacts with oxygen, O2, to form water, H2O, and carbon dioxide, CO2, as shown in the following chemical equation: 2C4h10(g)+13O2(g)->10H2O(g)+8CO2(g). Calculate the mass of water produced when 1.77 grams of butane reacts with excessive oxygen? Calculate the mass of butane needed to produce 71.6 of carbon dioxide

From the given reaction in 1.77 grams of butane, the mass of water produced will use the 10 mol H2O: 2 C4H10 stoichiometric ratio. Calculating, the amount of water produced is 2.75 grams water. The mass of butane needed from the same reaction nd 71.6 g CO2 is 23.60 g butane.
