How do you write a balanced equation for 5.8g of butane that's burnt in air and produces carbon dioxide and water?

Assuming you have an excess of oxygen, the balanced equation is always
C4H10 + 9O2 -> 4CO2 + 5H2O
If you have an air shortage, the equation will be...
xC4H10 + xO2 -> xH2O + xCO2 + xCO + xC
Huh? I shall explain.
The most reactive thing in this whole schmear is hydrogen. Hydrogen is the spoiled rich kid of the chemical world; it will grab oxygen until it gets all it wants, even if the carbon has to starve.
Carbon really, really wants to become carbon dioxide. If there's enough O2 to allow it, all the C will become CO2. When it uses up most of the O2 it will then make CO until running out of air, and will then produce carbon in the form of soot.

Word equation for the complete combustion of butane in plenty of air?
2 Butane + 13 Oxygen --> 8 Carbon Dioxide + 10 Water
What is the balanced equation of Butane?
2C4H10 + 13O2 ---------> 8CO2 + 10H2O This is a combustion reaction because carbon dioxide and water are products. This equation is balanced because on both sides there are 8 carbon atoms, 20 hydrogen atoms, and 26 oxygen atoms. Also these are the lowest possible coefficients (because there cannot be fractional coefficients). The trick to balancing this equation is to realize that the oxygen reactant is diatomic (so it starts out as O2).
What happens when 1mole O2 react with butane?
Assuming butane undergoes complete combustion in 1 mole of oxygen, 8/13 moles of carbon dioxide and 10/13 moles of water are formed.
How many moles of CO2 form when 58 grams of butane C4H10 burn in oxygen?
The answer is 3,99 moles of carbon dioxide.
What is butane density?
butane density
What is the balanced equation for C4H10 plus O2?
The combustion of Butane (C4H10) with oxygen (02) produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). The balanced and simplified this reaction is 2 butane + 13 water = 8 carbon dioxide and 10 water.

What equation show the balanced combustion reaction for isobutane?
C4H10 + 6.5O2 4CO2 + 5H2O + heat
What is the balanced equation for liquid butane burns in oxygen gas to form carbon dioxide gas and water vapor?
2 C4H10 (g) + 13 O2 (g) -----> 8 CO2 (g) + 10 H2O (g)
What is the equation of butane with chlorine?
Butane + chlorine (in light)--> 2- chlorobutane (major) + 1-chlorobutane(minor)
What is the difference in the bonding between carbons atom in carbon dioxide and butane?
Butane has bonds between carbon atoms.Carbon dioxide hasn't bonds between carbon atoms.
What is the mass of water vapor formed when 1g of butane is burned in a lighter?
Balanced equation. 2C4H10 + 13O2 -> 8CO2 +10H2O 8.13 grams C4H10 (1 mole C4H10/58.12 grams)(10 moles H2O/2 mole C4H10)(18.016 grams/1 mole H2O) = 12.6 grams water produced
What is the formula equation for Butane?
The formula is 2 x C2H5 = C4H10. :)
Butane burns in oxygen to produce magnesium nitrate an water?
no thats completely stupid. butane reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water
When butane burns it combines with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide and water which two element must be present in butane?
Carbon dioxide contains carbon and oxygen. Water contains hydrogen and water. Therefore, to combine with oxygen to form CO2 and H2O, butane must contain carbon and hydrogen.
Difficult write a balanced chemical equation incomplete combustion hydrocarbon?
2C3H8 +7 O2 >>6 CO +8 H2O 2C4H10 + 9O2 >> 8CO +10 H2O These are the balanced equation for propance and butane!
