    Butane is the 4th member of alkane series. It has 4 carbon atoms.

    First write a balanced equation for the combustion of butane as follows;

    2C4H10 + 13O2 = ==> 8CO2 + 10H2O

    from the balanced equation,

    2C4H10 weigh 2[ (12 x 4) + (1 x 10) ]

    =2 (48 + 10)

    = 116g

    13O2 weigh 13 (16 x 2)

    =13 x 32

    = 416g

    8CO2 weigh 8[ 12 + (16 x 2) ]

    8 x (12 + 32)

    352g

    From the equation, 116g of buthane produced 352g of carbon dioxide

    10g of buthane will produce 10*116:352 =
