C4H10+ 02 → _CO2 + __ H20 a) Balance the equation for the reaction and state what type of reaction it is.
b) How many moles of carbon dioxide are produced in the reaction?

a) 2C4H10 + 13O2 —> 8CO2 + 10H2O. Oxidation reaction

b) 8 (4 moles CO2 per mole butane)

Explanation:

could be written C4H10 + 6 1/2 O2 —> 4CO2 + 5H2O

it is important to conserve water because there is very limited amount of freshwater here on earth and if we are not smart about how we use it we will only be runnning out of our supply faster than neccessarry.

1. for the first question, we must find the mass of the anhydrous salt, mgso₄. the molar mass for mgso₄·7h₂o is 246.47 g/mol, while that of mgso₄ is 120.37 g/mol.7.834 g mgso₄·7h₂o * 1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o/246.47 g * 1 mol mgso₄/1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o * 20.37 g mgso₄/mol = 0.647 g mgso₄

2. mass of water = mass of sample - mass of anhydrous salemass of water = 7.834 - 0.647 = 7.19 gpercent water in hydrate = 7.19/7.834 * 100 = 91.74%
