    We should use 0.55 moles C4H10 to produce 50 grams of H2O (option 1 is correct)

    Explanation:

    Step 1: data given

    Mass of H2O = 50 grams

    Molar mass H2O = 18.02 g/mol

    Molar mass C4H10 = 58.12 g/mol

    Step 2: The balanced equation

    2C4H10 + 13 02 → 8 CO2 + 10H20

    Step 3: Calculate moles H2O

    Moles H2O = 50.0 grams / 18.02 g/mol

    Moles H2O = 2.77 moles

    Step 4: Calculate moles C4H10

    For 2 moles C4H10 we need 13 moles O2 to produce 8 moles CO2 and 10 moles H2O

    For 2.77 moles H2O we need 2.77/5 = 0.55 moles C4H10

    We should use 0.55 moles C4H10 to produce 50 grams of H2O (option 1 is correct)
