Calculate the mass of water produced when 1.36 g of butane reacts with excess oxygen.

Mass of water produced= 1.8 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of water produced = ?

Mass of butane = 1.36 g

Mass of oxygen = excess

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2C₄H₁₀ +13 O₂       →   8CO₂ + 10H₂O

Number of moles of butane:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 1.36 g/ 58.12 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.02 mol

Now we will compare the moles of butane with water.

                 C₄H₁₀         :        H₂O

                  2              :           10

                 0.02          :         10/2×0.02 = 0.1 mol

Mass of water produced:

Mass = molar mass × molar mass

Mass = 0.1 mol × 18 g/mol

Mass = 1.8 g
