What is the total volume of gaseous products formed when 116 liters of butane (C4H10) react completely according to the following reaction? (All gases are at the same temperature and pressure.) butane (C4H10) (g) + oxygen(g)carbon dioxide (g) + water(g)

The total volume of the gaseous products is 1044.29 L

Explanation:

We are given:

Volume of butane = 116 L

At STP:

22.4 L of volume is occupied by 1 mole of a gas

So, 116 L of volume will be occupied by = of butane

The chemical equation for the combustion of butane follows:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of butane produces 8 moles of carbon dioxide

So, 5.18 moles of butane will produce = of carbon dioxide

Volume of carbon dioxide at STP = (20.72 × 22.4) = 464.13 L

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of butane produces 10 moles of water vapor

So, 5.18 moles of butane will produce = of water vapor

Volume of water vapor at STP = (25.9 × 22.4) = 580.16 L

Total volume of the gaseous products = [464.13 + 580.16] = 1044.29 L

Hence, the total volume of the gaseous products is 1044.29 L

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
