Calculate the mass of butane needed to produce 61.9 g of carbon dioxide

20.4g

Explanation:

First, we need to write a balanced equation for the reaction of butane to produce carbon dioxide.

When butane undergo Combustion, it will produce carbon dioxide and water as shown below:

2C4H10 + 13O2 —> 8CO2 + 10H2O

Molar Mass of C4H10 = (12x4) + (10x1) = 48 + 10 = 58g/mol

Mass of C4H10 from the balanced equation = 2 x 58 = 116g

Molar Mass of CO2 = 12 + (2x16) = 12 + 32 = 44g/mol

Mass of CO2 from the balanced equation = 8 x 44 = 352g

From the equation,

116g of C4H10 produced 352g of CO2.

Therefore, Xg of C4H10 will produce 61.9g of CO2 i.e

Xg of C4H10 = (61.9 x 116)/352 = 20.4g

Therefore, 20.4g of butane(C4H10) is needed to produce 61.9g of CO2

the food using pesticides in the future will harm you by giving you diseases like cancer or something since they have things that we should not eat in it like chemicals or pesticides. that is why organic food is more expensive because they take the time to make it right and healthy for you to eat.
