For the following reaction, 9.60 grams of butane (C4H10) are allowed to react with 17.0 grams of oxygen gas. butane (C4H10) (g) + oxygen (g) carbon dioxide (g) + water (g) What is the maximum amount of carbon dioxide that can be formed? grams

14.4 g of can be produced.

Explanation:

Balanced equation:

                                        Molar mass (g/mol)

                                     58.12

                                            32

                                        44.01

So, 9.60 g of =

      17.0 g of =

According to balanced equation-

2 moles of produce 8 moles of

So, 0.165 moles of produce of  or 0.660 moles of

13 moles of produce 8 moles of

So, 0.531 moles of produce of or 0.327 moles of

As least number of moles of are produced from therefore is the limiting reagent.

So, maximum amount of that can be formed = 0.327 moles

                                                                              =

                                                                              = 14.4 g
