Consider the reaction for the combustion of butane $\left(\mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{10}\right),$ a component of liquefied petroleum (LP) gas. $$ 2 \mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{10}(\mathrm{~g})+13 \mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \longrightarrow 8 \mathrm{CO}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})+10 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g}) $$ a. How many moles of $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ are produced when $0.845 \mathrm{~mol}$ of butane are burned? b. How many moles of oxygen are required to burn 2.54 mol of butane?

Key Concepts

Balanced Chemical Equation

A balanced chemical equation represents a chemical reaction where the number of atoms for each element is the same on both the reactant and product sides, thus obeying the law of conservation of mass. It provides the specific mole ratios necessary for quantitative analysis in chemical reactions.

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry refers to the area of chemistry that deals with the relative quantities of reactants and products in chemical reactions. It involves using the balanced chemical equation to determine how much of one substance is needed to react with or produce a given quantity of another substance.

Mole Ratios

Mole ratios are the proportions between the amounts, in moles, of reactants and products as indicated by the coefficients in a balanced chemical equation. They serve as conversion factors in stoichiometric calculations to relate the quantities of different substances in a reaction.

Dimensional Analysis

Dimensional analysis is a systematic conversion method used in stoichiometry to switch between different units or quantities by multiplying by appropriate conversion factors. This technique helps ensure that calculations are set up correctly and that units cancel appropriately, leading to the desired outcome.
