Calculate the mass of butane needed to produce 99.0 g of carbon dioxide. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

32.7 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced combustion reaction

C₄H₁₀ + 6.5 O₂ ⇒ 4 CO₂ + 5 H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 99.0 g of CO₂

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol.

99.0 g × 1 mol/44.01 g = 2.25 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of C₄H₁₀ needed to produce 2.25 moles of CO₂

The molar ratio of C₄H₁₀ to CO₂ is 1:4. The moles of C₄H₁₀ needed are 1/4 × 2.25 mol = 0.563 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.563 moles of C₄H₁₀

The molar mass of C₄H₁₀ is 58.12 g/mol.

0.563 mol × 58.12 g/mol = 32.7 g

answer; i do believe the correct answer is (river); /// good luck

im doing test rn im going with 2 but ill give answer if itss wrong,   : )
