Question
For 2. Please answer in three significant digits
Combustion of hydrocarbons such as butane (C,H0) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere can trap the
Sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the Earth. For this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the
production of carbon dioxide.
1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the
combustion of gaseous butane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water.
2. Suppose 0.360 kg of butane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a
temperature of 12.0 °C. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced.
Round your answer to 3 significant digits.
