Given the balanced equation for the reaction of butane and oxygen: 2C4H10 + 13O2 ----> 8CO2 + 10H2O + energy How many moles of carbon dioxide are produced when 5.0 moles of butane react completely? * 5.0 mol 10. mol 20. mol 40. mol

Respuesta :

Answer : The number of moles of carbon dioxide produced is, 20. moles

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction is:

[tex]2C_4H_{10}+13O_2\rightarrow 8CO_2+10H_2O+energy[/tex]

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

As, 2 moles of butane react to give 8 moles of carbon dioxide

So, 5.0 moles of butane react to give [tex]\frac{8}{2}\times 5.0=20.[/tex] moles of carbon dioxide

Thus, the number of moles of carbon dioxide produced is, 20. moles

C. 20 mol

The number of moles of carbon dioxide produced is 20 moles

 The given chemical equation is:

2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ → 8CO₂ + 10H₂O + energy

From, the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

2 moles of butane reacts to give 8 moles of carbon dioxide

So, 5.0 moles of butane react to give [tex]\frac{8}{2} *5.0=20 \text{ moles}[/tex] of carbon dioxide

Thus, the number of moles of carbon dioxide produced is 20 moles.

Therefore, option c is correct.
