Correct answer: 138
- Balanced reaction
So,
- mol butane gives mol water
- mol butane needs mol
- Molar masses
For butane, :
For oxygen, :
- Convert given masses to moles
Butane
Oxygen
- Find the limiting reagent
Required oxygen for mol butane:
Available oxygen = mol only.
Hence, is the limiting reagent.
- Moles of butane that can react with available oxygen
From the equation,
So butane consumed:
- Moles of water formed
From stoichiometry,
Thus,
- Mass of water formed
Molar mass of water:
So,
- Convert mass of water to volume
Given density of water = .
Therefore,
Nearest integer:
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer = .
Our derived answer also is , so they agree.
