This is because the pressure of BUTANE(C4H10) is lower than that of OXYGEN(O2) and HELIUM(He)

Why is helium bad for us?

Helium is not inherently bad for us, but inhaling pure helium can be harmful because it displaces oxygen in our lungs, leading to asphyxiation. Inhaling helium from balloons or other containers can be risky and should be avoided.


When butane reacts with oxygen the temperature of the surronding area does what?

The temperature, of course increase.


How many grams of Oxygen are needed to completely react with 5.0 grams of butane in a butane lighter?

To calculate the grams of oxygen needed, you first need to balance the chemical equation for the combustion of butane. C₄H₁₀ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O. From the balanced equation, 2 moles of butane react with 13 moles of oxygen. One mole of butane is 58.12 g, and one mole of oxygen is 32 g. Therefore, 5.0 g of butane would require (5.0 g / 58.12 g/mol) * 13 moles of oxygen, which is approximately 1.12 grams of oxygen.


Is oxygen gas also known for helium?

Oxygen is not known as helium. But a mixture of oxygen and helium is used in the oxygen cylinder for underwater diving.

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.


What is the equation for butane oxygen?

The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of butane (C₄H₁₀) in oxygen (O₂) is: 2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ → 8CO₂ + 10H₂O.


Does helium dissolve into oxygen?

No, helium does not dissolve into oxygen. Helium is a non-reactive gas that remains separate from other gases in a mixture.

What is made from 15g of oxygen and 5g of helium?

There isn't a specific compound that can be made using 15g of oxygen and 5g of helium, as oxygen and helium do not readily react with each other to form compounds. However, both oxygen and helium are gases at standard conditions.
