Gaseous butane CH3CH22CH3 reacts with gaseous oxygen gas O2 to produce gaseous carbon dioxide CO2 and gaseous water H2O. What is the theoretical yield of carbon dioxide formed from the reaction of 3.49g of butane and 17.1g of oxygen gas

10.56 g

Explanation:

C4H10(g) + 13/2O2 (g) > 4CO2(g) + 5H2O(l)

Number of moles of butane = 3.49g/ 58 g/mol = 0.06 moles

1 mole butane yields 4 moles of CO2

0.06 moles of butane = 0.06 × 4/1 = 0.24 moles of CO2

Number of moles of oxygen = 17.1g/32g/mol = 0.53 moles of oxygen

6.5 moles of oxygen yields 4 moles of CO2

0.53 moles of oxygen yields 0.53 × 4/6.5 =0.33 moles of CO2

Butane is the limiting reactant

Theoretical yield of CO2 = 0.24 moles × 44g/mol = 10.56 g
