Question

Use the equation below to answer the following questions:

2 C4H10 + 13 O2 → 8 CO2 + 10 H2O

A) How many moles of O2, are needed to react with 25.9g of C4H10?

B) If 22.2 g of CO2 is produced, what mass of water is also produced?

C) How many moles of oxygen gas are needed to produce 0.30 moles of carbon dioxide?

Answer 1

A (2.475 mol O2). B (11.35 g) C. (.4875 mol O2)

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

convert 25.9 g C4H10 (68g/mol) to mol. --> .3808 mol

then use mole ratios from equation

.3808 mol C4H10 x (13 mol O2 / 2 mol C4H10). ---> 2.475 mol O2

B.

convert 22.2 g CO2 (44g/mol) to mol. ---> .5045 mol

.5045 mol CO2 x (10 mol H2O / 8 mol CO2) ----> .6306 mol H2O

convert .6306 mol to g ----> 11.35 g

C.

.3 mol CO2 x (13 mol O2 / 8 mol CO2) ---> .4875 mol O2
