Calculate the mass of water produced when 6.39 g of butane reacts with excess oxygen
2C4H10 + 13O2 ---------> 8CO2 + 10H2O
Molar mass of butane = 58.12 g/mol
mass of butane = 6.39 g
number of moles of butane = mass / molar mass
= 6.39 / 58.12
=0.11 mol
2 mol of butane produces 10 mol of H2O
so mol of H2O produce = 5 * number of moles of butane
= 5* 0.11
= 0.55 mol
Molar mass of H2O = 18 g/mol
mass of water = molar mass * number of moles
= 18*0.55
= 9.9 g
Answer: 9.9 g
