Q. The amount of carbon dioxide evolved upon complete combustion of 116 g of n-butane is (Given: atomic mass in amu H = 1, C = 12 and O = 16)
A) 362 g
B) 352 g
C) 322 g
D) 176 g
Explanation
[Solution from source] Molar mass of C₄H₁₀ = 58 g mol⁻¹, so 116 g = 2 mol. 2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ → 8CO₂ + 10H₂O, so 8 mol × 44 g mol⁻¹ = 352 g. Answer (2).
