Butane reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water following the equation given below. C4H10( g)+132O2( g)→4CO2( g)+5H2O(l)\mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_{10}(\mathrm{~g})+\frac{13}{2} \mathrm{O}_2(\mathrm{~g}) \rightarrow 4 \mathrm{CO}_2(\mathrm{~g})+5 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l})C4​H10​( g)+213​O2​( g)→4CO2​( g)+5H2​O(l) If 174.0 kg of butane is mixed with 320.0 kg of O2\mathrm{O}_2O2​, the volume of water formed in liters is ‾\underline{\hspace{2cm}}​.

Correct answer: 138

  1. Balanced reaction

C4H10+132O2→4CO2+5H2O\mathrm{C}_4\mathrm{H}_{10} + \frac{13}{2}\mathrm{O}_2 \rightarrow 4\mathrm{CO}_2 + 5\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}C4​H10​+213​O2​→4CO2​+5H2​O

So,

  • 111 mol butane gives 555 mol water
  • 111 mol butane needs 132=6.5\dfrac{13}{2} = 6.5213​=6.5 mol O2\mathrm{O}_2O2​

  1. Molar masses

For butane, C4H10\mathrm{C}_4\mathrm{H}_{10}C4​H10​:

M=4(12)+10(1)=48+10=58 g mol−1M = 4(12) + 10(1) = 48 + 10 = 58\ \mathrm{g\,mol^{-1}}M=4(12)+10(1)=48+10=58 gmol−1

For oxygen, O2\mathrm{O}_2O2​:

M=2(16)=32 g mol−1M = 2(16) = 32\ \mathrm{g\,mol^{-1}}M=2(16)=32 gmol−1


  1. Convert given masses to moles

Butane

174.0 kg=174000 g174.0\ \mathrm{kg} = 174000\ \mathrm{g}174.0 kg=174000 g

n(C4H10)=17400058=3000 moln(\mathrm{C}_4\mathrm{H}_{10}) = \frac{174000}{58} = 3000\ \mathrm{mol}n(C4​H10​)=58174000​=3000 mol

Oxygen

320.0 kg=320000 g320.0\ \mathrm{kg} = 320000\ \mathrm{g}320.0 kg=320000 g

n(O2)=32000032=10000 moln(\mathrm{O}_2) = \frac{320000}{32} = 10000\ \mathrm{mol}n(O2​)=32320000​=10000 mol


  1. Find the limiting reagent

Required oxygen for 300030003000 mol butane:

3000×6.5=19500 mol O23000 \times 6.5 = 19500\ \mathrm{mol\ O_2}3000×6.5=19500 mol O2​

Available oxygen = 100001000010000 mol only.

Hence, O2\mathrm{O}_2O2​ is the limiting reagent.


  1. Moles of butane that can react with available oxygen

From the equation,

6.5 mol O2 reacts with 1 mol butane6.5\ \text{mol } \mathrm{O}_2 \text{ reacts with } 1\ \text{mol butane}6.5 mol O2​ reacts with 1 mol butane

So butane consumed:

n(C4H10 reacted)=100006.5=2000013 moln(\mathrm{C}_4\mathrm{H}_{10}\ \text{reacted}) = \frac{10000}{6.5} = \frac{20000}{13}\ \mathrm{mol}n(C4​H10​ reacted)=6.510000​=1320000​ mol


  1. Moles of water formed

From stoichiometry,

1 mol butane→5 mol water1\ \text{mol butane} \rightarrow 5\ \text{mol water}1 mol butane→5 mol water

Thus,

n(H2O)=5×2000013=10000013≈7692.31 moln(\mathrm{H_2O}) = 5 \times \frac{20000}{13} = \frac{100000}{13} \approx 7692.31\ \mathrm{mol}n(H2​O)=5×1320000​=13100000​≈7692.31 mol


  1. Mass of water formed

Molar mass of water:

M(H2O)=2(1)+16=18 g mol−1M(\mathrm{H_2O}) = 2(1) + 16 = 18\ \mathrm{g\,mol^{-1}}M(H2​O)=2(1)+16=18 gmol−1

So,

m(H2O)=10000013×18=180000013 g≈138461.54 gm(\mathrm{H_2O}) = \frac{100000}{13} \times 18 = \frac{1800000}{13}\ \mathrm{g} \approx 138461.54\ \mathrm{g}m(H2​O)=13100000​×18=131800000​ g≈138461.54 g


  1. Convert mass of water to volume

Given density of water = 1 g mL−11\ \mathrm{g\,mL^{-1}}1 gmL−1.

Therefore,

138461.54 g=138461.54 mL=138.46154 L138461.54\ \mathrm{g} = 138461.54\ \mathrm{mL} = 138.46154\ \mathrm{L}138461.54 g=138461.54 mL=138.46154 L

Nearest integer:

138\boxed{138}138​


  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer = 138138138.

Our derived answer also is 138138138, so they agree.
