Question

Butanol has the chemical formula C4H9OH.

 

a)    Show the full electron configuration for C and indicate how many electrons C needs to have a full valence shell. 


b)    Butanol has a density of 810 kg m-3. How many molecules of butane are there in 150 mL? 


c)    Butanol and oxygen react in a combustion reaction with the formula below. Balance the formula and determine how many moles of CO2 are produced from 2.5 mol of butane

                    C4H9OH (l) + O2 (g)  CO2  (g) + H2O (l)
        

d)    In the molecule of butanol, there are C-C bonds, C-H bonds, a C-O bond and a O-H bond. Order these bonds from most to least polar


e)    On average, would you expect C-C to have longer or shorter bonds than C-H Briefly explain your answer. 


f)    From the reaction 2.57 L of carbon dioxide was produced and captured. Calculate the number of molecules of carbon dioxide if the temperature was 25.0 C and the pressure 1. 01 × 105 Pa. 


g)    The empirical and molecular formula for butanol is the same. Briefly explain why.
