The balanced chemical equation for the reaction
between butane
(C4H10) and oxygen is:
2 C4H10 ( g )
+ 13 O2 ( g ) 8 CO2 ( g )
+ 10 H2O ( g )
We can interpret this to mean:
13 moles
of oxygen and _____ mole(s)
of butane (C4H10)
React to produce:
_____ mole(s) of carbon
dioxide and _____ mole(s)
of water
