JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2021 - 25th July Morning Shift - No. 23)

Consider the complete combustion of butane, the amount of butane utilized to produce 72.0 g of water is ___________ $$\times$$ 10$$-$$1 g. (in nearest integer)
Answer
464

Explanation

$${C_4}{H_{10}} + {{13} \over 2}{O_2}\buildrel {} \over \longrightarrow 4C{O_2} + 5{H_2}O$$

Moles of $${H_2}O = {{72} \over {18}} = 4$$

Moles of C4H10 used $$ = {1 \over 5} \times 4$$

Wight of C4H10 used $$ = {4 \over 5} \times 58$$

= 46.4 gm = 464 $$ \times $$ 10-1 g
