2 C 4 H 10 + 13 O 2 → 8 CO 2 + 10 H 2 O -How many grams of CO₂ can be made from reacting 78.1 g of O₂ and 62.4 g of C₄H₁₀?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balanced chemical equation is: 2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ → 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O. The mole ratio of C₄H₁₀ to CO₂ is 2:8, or 1:4. Therefore, 62.4 g of C₄H₁₀ will react with 62.4 g / 58.12 g/mol * 4 mol CO₂ / 1 mol C₄H₁₀ * 44.01 g/mol CO₂ = 66.1 g CO₂.

2 C4H10 + 13 O2 → 8 CO2 + 10

2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ → 8 CO₂ + 10
