The fuel used in many disposable lighters is liquid butane, C4H10. Butane has a molecular weight of 58.1 grams in one mole. How many carbon atoms are in 1.50 g of butane?

Respuesta :

Doesnt the number of carbon atoms stay the same.
Though the weight of carbon in 1.5g is 1.24g.

This is because the RAM of C4 is 48.

The RFM of C4H10 is 58. Therefore, 48/58 is carbon in butane.

48/58 x 1.5 = 1.24g
