    The balanced equation for the burning of N-butane is;

    2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ → 8CO₂ + 10H₂O

    stoi. ratio 2 : 13 : 8 : 10

    molar mass 58 32 44 18

    moles X 13 X/2 8X/2 10X/2

    105.86 688.10 423.45 529.31

    produced mass 18632.8 g 9527.6 g

    moles of n-butane = X = 6.14 x 10³ g / 58 g mol⁻¹

    hence other moles of compounds can be calculated.

    Mass = molar mass * moles

    mass fraction = mass / total mass

    hence the mass fraction of

    CO₂ = 18632.8 / 6.14 x 10³ = 3.03

    H₂O = 9527.6 / 6.14 x 10³ = 1.55

    the required mass of air = 688.10 x 32 = 22019.2 g = 2.20 kg
