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

∙ 12y agoThe equation for this reaction is 2 C4H10 + 13 O2 -> 8 CO2 + 10 H2O. This shows that 5 molecules of water are produced from each mole of butane burned. The gram molecular mass of butane is 58.12. Therefore 9.07 grams constitutes 9.07/58.12 or about 0.156056 mole. Multiplying this number by 5 yields a result of about 0.7801 mole of water. The gram molecular mass of water is 18.01528; therefore, this corresponds to 14.06 grams of water to the justified number of significant digits.

2C4H10 + 13O2 -> 8CO2 + 10H2O
1.25 moles butane (8 moles CO2/2 moles C4H10)
= 5.00 moles carbon dioxide formed

∙ 14y agoButane is a hydrocarbon. Hence, when undergoes combustion gives carbon dioxide and water as the products.
The reaction is like :-
2C4H10 + 13O2 -------> 8CO2 + 10H2O
Thus, two moles of Butane would be required for its complete combustion

What has the highest vapor pressure butane ethanol or toluene?
butane
When crystalline C6H12O6 is burned in oxygen carbon dioxide and water vapor are formed?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O Yes, a special form of a combustion reaction called respiration., or if ignited and actually burned water vapor will form.
How long does butane fuel last?
That depends on the ambient conditions. The rate at which butane evaporates depends on the ambient pressure, the temperature and the amount of ambient convection. If the butane is very cold, it will take an extremely long time to evaporate. If it is hot, it will pretty much flash into vapor as soon as it is exposed to atmospheric pressure. If it is in the bottom of a long tube where the vapor above the liquid quickly becomes entirely composed of butane, it will evaporate more slowly than if it is just dumped out in a puddle on the ground with a fan blowing over it. Since the vapor pressure of butane is around 2 atmospheres at typical room conditions, it will generally be under pressure in whatever container it is stored in. As soon as the container is opened, it will start boiling. Butane lighters have liquid butane in them because the plastic doesn't have too much trouble containing the relatively low pressure required to keep most of the butane liquid. If you drill a hole in the side of one, the butane will start boiling until all but a bit of residual vapor has escaped.
Is it necessary to subtract the water vapor pressure of water in the butane experiment?
yes it is necessary to subtract the water pressure
What waste products does hydrogen produce when it is burned?
When hydrogen is burned the product is pure water vapor. Here is the equation: 2H2 + O2 = 2H2O.

Does Butane have a lower vapor pressure than methylpropane?
Yes
If 5.50 mol of butane are reacted how many moles of water vapor are produced?
Each mole of butane, which has formula of C4H10, contains 10 moles of hydrogen atoms. If the butane is completely combusted, all of the hydrogen in the butane is converted in water, with the formula H2O. The amount of water vapor will accordingly be 5.50 X 10/2 = 27.5.

What is formed when charcoal is burned?
When charcoal is formed carbon dioxide gas is produced. C + O2 = CO2
Why carbon is released when wood is burned?
When combustion occurs, due to the chemical reaction carbon dioxide and water are always formed.
What substance is produced when hydrogen is burned?
Water vapor.
