The fuel used in many disposable lighters is liquid butane, c4h10. butane has a molecular weight of 58.1 grams in one mole. how many carbon atoms are in 1.50 g of butane?

              6.21 × 10²² Carbon Atoms

Data Given:

                 Mass of Butane (C₄H₁₀)  =  1.50 g

                 M.Mass of Butane  =  58.1 g.mol⁻¹

Step 1: Calculate Moles of Butane as,

                 Moles  =  Mass ÷ M.Mass

Putting values,

                 Moles  =  1.50 g ÷ 58.1 g.mol⁻¹

                 Moles  =  0.0258 mol

Step 2: Calculate number of Butane Molecules;

As 1 mole of any substance contains 6.022 × 10²³ particles (Avogadro's Number) then the relation for Moles and Number of Butane Molecules can be written as,

            Moles  =  Number of C₄H₁₀ Molecules ÷ 6.022 × 10²³ Molecules.mol⁻¹

Solving for Number of Butane molecules,

             Number of C₄H₁₀ Molecules  =  Moles × 6.022 × 10²³ Molecules.mol⁻¹

Putting value of moles,

     Number of C₄H₁₀ Molecules  =  0.0258 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ Molecules.mol⁻¹

                 Number of C₄H₁₀ Molecules  =  1.55 × 10²² C₄H₁₀ Molecules

Step 3: Calculate Number of Carbon Atoms:

As,

                            1 Molecule of C₄H₁₀ contains  =  4 Atoms of Carbon

So,

          1.55 × 10²² C₄H₁₀ Molecules will contain  =  X Atoms of Carbon

Solving for X,

 X =  (1.55 × 10²² C₄H₁₀ Molecules × 4 Atoms of Carbon) ÷ 1 Molecule of C₄H₁₀

X  =  6.21 × 10²² Atoms of Carbon

a non redox reaction occurs when there is not a transfer of electrons. for redox reactions, which are reduction-oxidation reactions, a change in the oxidation number occurs. elements that are reduced gain electrons, and elements that are oxidized lose electrons.
