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 2.00 g of butane?
Added by Hannah R.
Step 1
00 grams. Use the molecular weight of butane, which is 58.1 grams per mole. \[ \text{Number of moles} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molecular weight}} = \frac{2.00 \, \text{g}}{58.1 \, \text{g/mol}} \] Show more…
