Question

1. Given the following equation:
2C4H10 +13O2 --->8CO2 +10H2O
Show what the following molar ratios should be.
a. C4H10 / O2 2:13 (example) b. O2 / CO2
c. O2 / H2O
d. C4H10 / CO2
e. C4H10 / H2O

also give an explanation

Answer 1

Answer:

a. C₄H₁₀/O₂    =  2:13 (example)

b. O₂/CO₂      = 13:8

c. O₂/H₂O      = 13:10

d. C₄H₁₀/CO₂ =  2:8

e. C₄H₁₀/H₂O =  2:10

Explanation:

2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ ⟶ 8CO₂ + 10H₂O

The molar ratios are the same as the coefficients in front of the formulas.
