I got C4H5. And it says that is wrong. Can someone help me on this one?
Check my thinking on this.
CxHy + O2 ==> CO2 + H2O
CxHy = 0.20 mol
CO2 = 0.80 mol
H2O = 1.0 mol
Convert 0.20 mol CxHy to 1.0 mol by multiplying by 5. Therefore, we should get 5 x 0.80 mol CO2 (4.0 mols) and 5 x 1.0 mol H2O (5.0 mols). The equation must be something like this:
CxHy + 13/2 O2 ==> 4CO2 + 5H2O which means CxHy must be C4H10?
CxHy + O2 ==> CO2 + H2O
CxHy = 0.20 mol
CO2 = 0.80 mol
H2O = 1.0 mol
Convert 0.20 mol CxHy to 1.0 mol by multiplying by 5. Therefore, we should get 5 x 0.80 mol CO2 (4.0 mols) and 5 x 1.0 mol H2O (5.0 mols). The equation must be something like this:
CxHy + 13/2 O2 ==> 4CO2 + 5H2O which means CxHy must be C4H10?
If 10.0 mol of butane burn completely, wgat thermal energy would be produced?
