{Please rememeber to read the numbers as subscripts in the chemical formulae}.
The "combustion" of butane(formula C4H10)-- which is basically burning butane in oxygen---proceeds according to the reaction below.
2 C4H10 + 13 O2 → 8 CO2 + 10 H2O
2 moles C4H10 react with 13 moles O2 ...
Solution Summary
The solution shows the step-by-step process for finding out the grams of CO2 obtained by the combustion of butane using conversions to moles and equation balancing techniques.
