0.480kg of butane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1atm and a temperature of 10.0°C . Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
Combustion of hydrocarbons such as butane (
) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere can trap the Sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the Earth. For this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide.
Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of gaseous butane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water.
Suppose
of butane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly
and a temperature of
. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
