Answer: The number of moles of excess reagent remain unreacted will be, 6.004 moles.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of
C_4H_(10) = 1.332 mol

Mass of
O_2 = 6.504 mol

First we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical equation is:


C_4H_(10)+13O_2\rightarrow 10H_2O+8CO_2

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 13 mole of
O_2 react with 1 mole of
C_4H_(10)

So, 6.504 moles of
O_2 react with
(6.504)/(13)=0.5003 moles of
C_4H_(10)

From this we conclude that,
C_4H_(10) is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and
O_2 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Number of moles remain unreacted = 6.504 mol - 0.5003 mol = 6.004 mol

Therefore, the number of moles of excess reagent remain unreacted will be, 6.004 moles.
