Butane (C₄H₁₀) is used as a fuel where natural gas is not available. How many grams of butane will fill a 3.50 liter container at 35.6°C and 758 torr?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the grams of butane, use the ideal gas law: PV = nRT. Convert 758 torr to atm (758/760), 35.6°C to Kelvin (35.6 + 273.15), and solve for n (moles). Then, multiply by the molar mass of butane (58.12 g/mol) to find the mass.
