what is the proper formulanGaseous Butane (C4H10) that reacts with Gaseous Oxygen (O2) in a combustion reaction to form Carbon dioxide Gas and Gaseous Water (Dihydrogen monoxide).

2C₄H₁₀(g) + 13O₂(g) —> 8CO₂(g) + 10H₂O(g)

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction between butane and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water can be written as follow:

C₄H₁₀ + O₂ —> CO₂ + H₂O

Next, we shall balanced the equation. This is illustrated below:

C₄H₁₀ + O₂ —> CO₂ + H₂O

There are 4 atoms of C on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by writing 4 before CO₂ as shown below:

C₄H₁₀ + O₂ —> 4CO₂ + H₂O

There are 10 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by writing 5 before H₂O as shown below:

C₄H₁₀ + O₂ —> 4CO₂ + 5H₂O

There are 2 atoms of O on the left side and a total of 13 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by writing 13/2 before O₂ as shown below:

C₄H₁₀ + 13/2O₂ —> 4CO₂ + 5H₂O

Multiply through by 2 to express in whole number ratio.

2C₄H₁₀(g) + 13O₂(g) —> 8CO₂(g) + 10H₂O(g)

Thus, the equation is balanced.

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
